Story Synopsis:
Based on the screenplay “A Guy Named Joe” by Dalton Trumbo, Steven Spielberg’s Always is a heartwarming fantasy drama filled with adventure and a dash of romance. Daredevil airplane pilot Pete Sandich (Dreyfuss) is killed while fighting a fire from the air and is aided in heaven by angel Audrey Heburn. She encourages him to do what he can to assist the lives of those he left behind on Earth including his faithful girlfriend Dorinda (Hunter), best pal (Goodman) and the man who replaced him as a firefighting pilot (Johnson).
LaserDisc Picture:
This movie is as close to perfection as you will ever see. Mikael Salomon’s breathtaking cinematography and exhilarating aerial choreography highlight this compelling adventure. It is one of Spielberg’s finest achievements in motion picture making. It has been beautifully transferred to video in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio by telecine colorist, Lou Levinson.
