- No Comparison
Please, can we stop comparing "ALWAYS" to "A GUY NAMED JOE"?They are two different movies!
"A Guy Named Joe" was made while we were at war, fighting for our freedom and our lives.No other war quite like it before or since.Thousands upon thousands of men died in that war, many in one battle.The families of that day knew loss on a massive scale (suggest you watch "The Fighting Sullivans").
I think most people who watch older films already know the storyline of the Spencer Tracy ... Read More

- Nice Story With Appealing Cast
This is one of those old-fashioned, nice stories with generally nice people, some good lessons to be learned and some touching scenes. You just have to go with the fantasy-type theologies, in this story dead people coming back as angels-you-can see.

Rating: - This movie was made for 1943, not 1989
Trying to directly compare this movie, made in 1943, with "Always", made in 1989, is not really fair.

For those of us around in 1943, it is easy to understand and appreciate movies from that era, while also enjoying pictures of a more recent making, from the perspective the time they are made. My advice to ... Read More
Rating: - What airplae stuff
I thought the P-38s were great. I know the special effects were not up to current par, but the moview was made ove sixty years ago. I thought the acting was very good.
