 Always Movie Rewind «
Always is, of course, basically a good old fashioned romance and as such is an unusual genre for Spielberg to cover.

This film is a remake of "A Guy Named Joe" (1943) (seen in the background on the TV in "Poltergeist").

 Film vs. Digital
Film has already disappeared from professional newspaper use a year or so ago, although small town papers may still use it, and likewise, no digital capture system has come anywhere near replacing 8x10" large format film for huge exhibition prints that need to be hellaciously detailed.
These typical comparisons of course put the film at a huge disadvantage since they are eliminating all of film's advantages and reducing the comparison to the trivial resolution issues the newbies argue about.

 The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)
The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) is one of the best film noirs of all time - and one of the earliest prototypes of today's 'erotic thrillers.' The screenplay (by Harry Ruskin and Niven Busch) was based on the controversial first novel/pot-boiler (1934) of the same name by notorious writer James M. Cain.
This fatalistic film from director Tay Garnett is best known for one of the hottest portrayals of a sultry and seductive femme fatale - it is one of Lana Turner's finest performances.
The film was advertised with posters that described the illicit passion between a drifter (Garfield) and a married-unsatisfied waitress (Turner) in a roadside cafe: "Their Love was a Flame that Destroyed!" Their killing of the woman's husband ultimately leads to their mutual destruction in unexpected ways.

 Arthurian Film
Donner's film, which was shelved by the studio for several years before being dumped for television release, is one of the silliest films ever made about the Arthurian legend.
The charges leveled against the film are generally that the lead roles were miscast, that the direction was ponderous, and that, at nearly three hours, the film was too long.
Clearly, Zucker intends his film to be an Arthuriad for the 1990s, but the film fails to capture the spirit of the original legend or to make a case for its contemporary translation of the oft-told story of the Arthur-Lancelot-Guinevere love triangle.

He is undoubtedly a great artist; certainly he always portrays one and the same figure; only the weakly poor, helpless, clumsy youngster for whom, however, things turn out well in the end.
As a loyal and worshipful child, Charlie had always sided unconditionally with his mother in her many unhappy relationships with men, including her stormy courtship and volatile marriage to his father.

 Everything you always wanted to know about Film
Most films shown in the United States are rated under a voluntary rating system instituted by the Motion Picture Association of America:
Originally moving picture film was shot at various speeds using hand-cranked cameras; then the speed for mechanized cameras and projectors was standardized at 16 frames per second, which was faster than much existing hand-cranked footage.
Improvements since the late 1800s include the mechanization of cameras, allowing them to record at a consistent speed, the invention of more sophisticated filmstocks and lenses, allowing directors to film in increasingly dim conditions, and the development of synch sound, allowing sound to be recorded at exactly the same speed as its corresponding video.

 Amazon.com: Always: DVD: Richard Dreyfuss,Holly Hunter,Brad Johnson (II),John Goodman,Audrey Hepburn,Roberts ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The trouble with the film is a certain airlessness, a hyper-inventiveness in every scene and sequence that screams of Spielberg's self-education in Hollywood classicism.
A remake of an earlier film to be sure, but even this 1989 treatment looks and feels nostalgic with its amber-tinted cinematography, the sentimental presentation of the devoted fighter pilots, and the appearance of the ageless, magical Audrey Hepburn (sharp as a tack in her last film as a bright-eyed, no-nonsense angel).
This film is a remake of A Guy Named Joe, which was watched on television in Poltergeist, which was co-written by director 'Spielberg, Steven'.
