It's a quotation (Shakespeare?) either about Thomas More or about somebody like him. (I knew once - but I think that's enough of an idea for you to do the research).Originally Posted by peter123

Hi there,
I don't understand why the film is named 'A man for all seasons'.
Thanks

PS: It wasn't Shakespeare; it was Robert Whittington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , and he was referring to More himself. He probably had in mind Erasmus' words omnium horarum hominem.
