I loved the movie. It is well worth watching. Can't remember how the
costumes were though.

Subject: [h-cost] Henry VIII movie question
Hey all,
I am thinking of getting a movie, A Man For All Seasons
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060665/), to watch while I am working
on my Henrician gown. Our Henry VIII faires are often set during the
marriage question. But I have never seen the movie. Is it worth
getting? How is the storyline? How good/bad are the costumes? Is my
money better spent on a different movie of a similar time frame?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Well I remember watching it a few years ago but I only remember bits
(my friend who was watching it with me wasn't interested and
distracted me) unfortunately it was before I started researching Tudor
clothing so I can't give an opinion on the costumes. But an image
search using the title turned up this page
http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_product.asp?
sku=149316&master_movie_id=2499&MGAID=U7JD1194 they seem to have got
the overall lines right but you can't see the details.
If you're interested in Tudor films I found a pretty comprehensive
list here http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Documents/TudorsMoviesTV.htm
