Always is
essentially a remake of the 1943 Spencer Tracy-Irene Dunne fantasy vehicle A Guy Named Joe. Richard Dreyfuss stars as a reckless
Air-tanker pilot who is killed in what was to have been his final mission. Ascending to Heaven, Dreyfuss is introduced to
businesslike angel Audrey Hepburn (playing the equivalent of the Lionel Barrymore role in A Guy Named Joe). Hepburn instructs
the spectral Dreyfuss to pass on his aviation knowhow to his young successor, Brad Johnson.
Our ghostly hero also smoothes
the course of romance for his earthly girl friend Holly Hunter, who after several months' worth of grieving has fallen in
love with Johnson. Two Douglas A-26 Invader Air tankers (Douglas B-26C Invader No.
57 and Douglas TB-26C Invader No. 59, were prominently featured in the film. The flying for the film was performed by well-known film pilot Steve Hinton
and Denny Lynch, the owner of the A-26s.
