Always (1989) *

A remake of "A Guy Named Joe" (1943). The immortal Jerome Kerns' song "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" adds a touch of black humor to this otherwise boring and sentimental story about a fire-fighter pilot dying in a plane crash. Some scenes are deeply moving, but the film is too corny and ultimately too depressing. Directed by Steven Spielberg; probably the least impressive film of his career.
