A Guy Named Joe was remade in 1989 as Steven Spielberg's Always with Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter and Audrey Hepburn.
A sentimental, patriotic (if not propagandistic) Hollywood fantasy about a dead World War II bomber pilot, Maj. Pete Sandidge (Tracy) who becomes guardian angel to another pilot, Capt. Ted Randall (Johnson), guiding Randall through battle and helping him to romance his old girlfriend (Dunne), despite her excessive devotion to Sandidge's memory.
