Storyline

- TriviaThis was Audrey Hepburn's final film before her death on January 20, 1993 at the age of 63. She accepted the role of Hap because she wanted to work with Steven Spielberg.
- GoofsThe Douglass A-26 Invader Air Tanker is powered by two 2,000 HP engines and empty, weighs about 23,000 Lbs. When it drops its 1200 gallons of fire retardant, it suddenly loses almost 11,000 Lbs. There should be no problem in getting the plane to climb after the drop. In fact, after a drop, keeping the plane from climbing too fast can be a problem.
- Quotes
Dorinda Durston: It's not the dress... it's the way you see me.
- Crazy creditsOn the Blu Ray release, at the very end of the end credits, there is a warning. It reads, in quotation marks: "Caution: Inhaling of helium from balloons is dangerous, and can cause serious injury or death."
- Alternate versionsIn the bar scene early in the movie, when Pete is trying to give the wrapped gift to Dorinda and she is resistant, this is almost perfect duplication of a scene early in the movie "A Guy Named Joe," upon which this movie is based. In both movies, Jack finally jokingly throws the box over Dorinda's head and it lands on a flight of stairs, falling open, revealing the elegant dress. And in both movies, Dorinda's attitude and manner completely change when she turns around and sees the dress.

Featured review
One of his lesser films, Always is a nice, touching story that seems to never have found its proper audience.
Wonderfully shot, well acted, the 1989 film is a departure from Spielberg's usual fantasy and historical pictures but has echoes of both. The firebomber sequences hint at some of the battle scenes from Saving Private Ryan years down the road.
Well worth checking out if you haven't seen it. Hepburn's final screen appearance is gentle and touching. Spielberg is restrained in this film. Perhaps he considers it a small film, but it is a forgotten gem in many ways.
