Richard Dreyfuss in "Always" 1989 Movie Trailer

This remake of the 1943 film A GUY NAMED JOE stars Richard Dreyfuss as Pete Sandich, a daredevil pilot who specializes in putting out forest fires. Pete promises his girlfriend, Dorinda (Holly Hunter), that he will stop flying, but when his best friend, Al (John Goodman), gets into engine trouble while fighting a blaze, Pete attempts a daring rescue--saving his friend but killing himself.

Waking up in the afterlife, Pete meets an angel, Hap (Audrey Hepburn), who sends him back to earth as a ghost no one can see or hear. When Dorinda flies into a fire to save trapped smoke jumpers, Pete telepathically talks her through the dangerous mission. Hap tells Pete he must help Dorinda overcome her grief and lead her to a new love with a novice pilot (Brad Johnson). While Pete watches the two start their romance, he battles feelings of jealousy and sadness at giving her up.

Steven Spielberg and Richard Dreyfuss, while working together on JAWS in 1975, found that they shared an affinity for the 1943 film A GUY NAMED JOE. They managed to come together years later to make their own version of it in ALWAYS.

@SCHMIRNER It sure is a good one ;-) My All Time favorite from Richard is "Who's Life is it Anyway?"

A gem of a movie, if you like pretty girls , rugged planes and classic aviation, it,s a  iconic production, I liked it so much i bought the dvd, ace film.

I watched this movie, and then ended up flying firefighting aircraft...

[formy3ds]

Still can't bear to watch the movie again ... too sad but a very good watch.

I love this movie, so many messages, so glad it was made.

[semyondelaney]

@kbick3 You are one sad person to make such a hateful comment. I wonder how people like you are made. Don't bother to answer as I wouldn't believe a thing you say. Still a free country so you have a right to your opinion. My opinion you can guess. My suggestion is that you don't label a whole people/culture. No wonder many who post have taken to cutting out the comment section. I don't blame them when I read this kind of comment.

@DreyfussFan

This is a Good Movie , I personally liked it cos I'm a Big Hepburn Fan and this was her last movie and she certainly went out the same way she arrived in Hollywood which was gracefully. Personally I think the best Dreyfuss Film was "Mr Hollands Opus" its a good Film of the Ages
