Boston Globe Thursday, February 2, 1967 'A Man for All Seasons' Outstanding Film Acting, Eloquence Br and eis Slates 1 8 Art Awards Eight artists in music, architecture, poetry and theater will receive 1967 Creative Arts Awards from Brandeia University, Mar. 12 at Del. monico's, New York City, was announced Wednesday. A ninth award, intended te honor a person or a group for notable achievement in the creative arts also will presented In the 11th annual awards ceremony. tyr to his conscience and belief.

Of course the actors have the advantage of appearing in a literate and worthy script written by the same man who wrote the play, and directed by one of the greatest directors in the history of motion picture making. Zinnemann's technique, his artistry and his ability to make every scene exciting and dramatic, has never been better displayed, despite his former triumphs. In this story of a man who lost the world but not his souL and whose integrity is still a mark placed for lesser men to try to reach, the producer-director has given us the best picture of the year and maybe the best picture of many years, past and to come. In most ways Bolt has improved his script as compared with the stage play. One of the differences is the leaving out of that strange character, the Common Man, who kept bobbing up in the play to make pert comments over the foolish and wicked actions of his "betters." He was not necessary in the drama and not missed in the film.

Vanessa Redgrave makes a very brief but memorable appearance as the beloved Anne. She exudes sex and allure and makes it possible for one to see why Henry was willing to antagonize the Catholic heirarchy for her sake. Cromwell, determined from the first to destroy Sir Thomas. But it is a toss-up as to whether he wins first supporting honors over the persuasive technique of Wendy Hiller, who plays the heartbroken, devoted Lady Alice with such honesty and force that she practically steps off the screen and into life. They are two superb players, who uphold Scofield with a fiery display of their acting talents.

Then there is Orson Welles, corpulent, old and disgraced on his death bed by the king; Robert Shaw, who plays an egotistical, ruthless xuler who will brook no interference with his plans to divorce his Queen and marry Lady Anne Boleyn; Nigel Davenport, a brusque, earthy Duke; Corin Redgrave, a likeable young suitor; Susannah York, a glorious young girl who is the love of her father's heart; Colin Blakely, the ambivalet servant who can not rise to the requirements of his master's proferred friendship. ALSO OUTSTANDING John Hurt is remarkable as the contemptible law student who attains the high places his ambitions leap to, but who uses deceit, lies, betrayal and malice on his way to power. Hurt brings every meanness to the role; every small and hateful action. It is his rehearsed untruthful "evidence" which sends Sir Thomas to the block, making him a mar FEB. 11 "MAM FOR A IX SEASONS" by Robert Bolt.

I have seldom seen a film so satisfying to the scul, as well as to the eye, the ear and the mind.

It is difficult to name the most outstanding delight of the film as a whole. Pages could be given to describing the dignity, the nobility, the wisdom, the wit, the love of the world which animates Sir Thomas More, as played by Paul Scofield. Producer Director Zinne-mann has rightly chosen the English statesman as the center of every scene, whether he is present in person or merely talked about and schemed against. The title comes from Robert Whittinton's contemporary description more than four centuries ago "Thomas More is man of angel's wit and singular learning a man of marvelous mirth and past-times, and sometimes of as sad gravity a man for all seasons." By MARJORY ADAMS Glob Critle "A Man For All Season" will make the new Cheri I Theater on Dalton a mec-ca for many months to come for Bostonians who demand superior cinema and can not be satisfied with less. It is a magnificent production, deserving all the praise and awards so far lavished on in New York for its brilliance of acting and direction, its eloquence of dialogue, its beauty of background, its supremacy as a human document.

Such a film as "A Man For All Seasons" makes the silly efforts of avant-garde and "new" picture diretcors look raw and hideous. This film combines so many qualities of excellence that it stands alone as an ex- FEB. II 12 ONLY 2 Shows Feb. 10 p.m. Folimjirv cm.

in Beauty, OSCAR HIS? So Scofield portrays him. What chance has any other actor for ttys year a Oscar as compared with the grandeur of this delineation. One watches the humiliation and the physical ruin of this princely man, but he is never conquered in spirit. Scofield cunningly shows the deterioration of the man's body, but not the inner mind. He is able to rebuke his enemies from the heart, but the executioner's shadow hovers tall over the packed jury.

Through his many years in the part on the stage, Mr. Scofield has been able to bring the characterization to as near perfection as can be hoped for. He was received with hosannahs five year ago in the theater. And in this film masterpiece he has risen to even higher virtures. I can not perceive a gesture, a small change of expression, a movement of his head, a quick glance from his glowing eyes which does not help to advance the knowledge of the man he is bringing to life on the screen.

He is the tower around which the other players gather to get strength from him. BESIDES SCOFIELD But what of the others the top notch, cleverly cast group of England's best actors?
