A Man for All Seasons - with Paul Schofield (as Thomas More), and Wendy Hiller as his wife had several major themes.
One was depicted in a wonderful man to wife speech - where the uneducated lady moaned (before More's execution) that she was unworthy of him.
In a brilliant speech, More explained that her humility, kindness and love - were even more important than his brave and courageous, albeit fatal, stance against Henry VIII.
Bet Midler's rendition of Hero, at the Super Bowl - and elsewhere - tells a similar story, about a departed loved one.

And reminds us to tell those we know - just how we feel...
