    A romantic action fantasy with intimate scenes , an enjoyable love story and good feeling

    A jingost and agreeable tale about the angel of a dead WWII pilot guiding another young one . ¨A Guy Named Joe¨ stars Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne, it was one of MGM's top grossers for 1944. A gal named Dorinda loved a guy named Joe. They couldn't hear him. They couldn't see him. But he was there when they needed him... Even after he was gone. It deals with a likeable WWII pilot (Spencer Tracy) in love for the beautiful Dorinda (Irene Dunne) . One day he is killed , as he finds himself returning as an invisible ghost who's presence is barely felt giving advice to his successor. As he is guiding another young pilot (Van Johnson) throughout aerial battles and also helping him to romance his girl , who's still devoted to hiis memory . Pete then finds that his successor is also falling in love with her . A guy - a gal - a pal - It's Swell!

    Thi is an exhilarating, heart-satisfying emotional experience - you will long remember .A patriotic , sentimental Hollywood fantasy dealing with the spirit of a recently deceased expert pilot mentors a newer pilot while watching him fall in love with the girlfriend that he left behind . This classy film was remade as ¨Always¨ (1989) by Steven Spielberg . A clip from that film was featured in Poltergeist (1982), which was co-written by director Steven Spielberg. In ¨Always¨ Pete's angel's name is Hap , an early military aviation pioneer, trained at the Wright Brother's flying school, and the only five star general of the US Air Force, was "Hap" Arnold ; in the film this movie was based on , ¨A guy named Joe¨ (1943), Joe's angel was also a former pilot, this makes Hap's name more than a coincidence , originally, the character was supposed to be male . Spencer Tracy's sincerity is major asset as an airman who, after getting killed , looks after the fortunes of his fellows . The secondary cast of MGM reliables includes notorious stars such as : Van Johnson, Ward Bond, James Gleason, Lionel Barrymore , Barry Nelson , Henry O'Neill , Don DeFore , Addison Richards , and a very young Esther Williams without swimming pool in sight.

    The motion picture was well directed by Victor Fleming . Victor worked for the Hollywood's main Majors , as in Paramount , Fleming's first major successes were Lord Jim (1925) , The Blind Goddess (1926) and Abie's Irish Rose (1928) , all of them Silent Pictures . The following year, he brought Clara Bow to fame in Mantrap, filmed the now-lost Spanish-American War epic The Rough Riders, and in 1927 he was Emil Jannings' first American director with The Way of All Flesh. Fleming's first all-sound film, The Virginian, established Gary Cooper's laconic character. At MGM, Fleming vaulted Clark Gable to stardom with Red Dust (1932) and began a string of fast-paced hits with Bombshell (1933), Treasure Island (1934), Reckless (1935) , Captains Courageous (1937) , A Star Is Born (1937) co-directed with William A Wellman and Test Pilot (1938). He also remade a large portion of The Great Waltz (1938) after the studio fired original director Julien Duvivier. Fleming took over The Wizard of Oz from Richard Thorpe in October 1938, but before he ended that picture, was asked to take over David Selznick's troubled production of Gone With the Wind from George Cukor. In the following decade, all Fleming's last pictures were big office hits and with the greatest stars , such as : Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941) with Spencer Tracy , Lana Turner , Joan of Arc (1948) with Ingrid Bergman , José Ferrer , Guy Named Joe (1943) , Adventure (1945) with Clark Gable , Greer Garson, Joan Blondell , among others.

    Love rivalry during war

    'A Guy Named Joe' had a lot going for it, as cliched as this sounds it is a good way of describing something that have a lot of major things that makes one want to see it. Something that has happened numerous times but with varied success in execution. Victor Fleming was responsible for great films, 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Gone With the Wind' being timeless. Also respect Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne highly as actors so that was another interest point.

    Watching it finally, 'A Guy Named Joe' may not completely live up to its potential and everybody involved gave better performances in better things. It does however have more than enough to make it well worth watching and it still is a good representation of the cast and Fleming, so promise is a long way from squandered (am very happy about that as that is a pet peeve of mine watching films etc and has happened many, many times).

    Sure, it is not going to work for everybody and is in no way my definition of a classic. The story can be silly and is not always realistic, with it not always gelling with the wartime setting. The effects do show their age and are really quite artificial.

    The script can descend into melodramatic soap, not always but when it does it is as subtle as a sledgehammer.

    However, 'A Guy Named Joe' shows a lot of polish and care, without being too glossy, in the production values. One can really see the effort in the lavishly produced, without being overly elaborate, sets and equally handsome photography. The music avoids being too stock or syrupy, as well as not being too intrusive. Fleming's direction shows no signs of coldness or indifference, it instead came over as assured and sympathetic while showing momentum. The script is not perfect but nothing came over as toe-curling and the cast show a lot of committment in making it ring true.

    Like the script, the story is not perfect but it is never dull, the air sequences do have an exciting momentum regardless of how they hold up visually and the emotional impact is definitely there. Will admit to feeling misty-eyed at the end, and didn't think that the film got too sentimental and despite being a film with heavy-handedness being a big danger it just about avoided that mostly (lapses of subtlety is obvious at times having said that) though somewhat by the skin of its teeth. The cast are uniformly strong, with a subtle and charming performance from Tracy and a truly heartfelt one from Dunne. Their chemistry does have a spark, couldn't tell that behind the scenes they apparently didn't get along. Van Johnson's acting here is some of his best and it is always great to see Lionel Barrymore and Esther Williams.

    In a nutshell, well worth watching if not a classic. 7/10

    Irene Dunne

    Irene Dunne is what makes any movie she is in, superb! No female actor today, or for that matter in the 30s and 40s can compare to her wholesomeness, versatility, and talent! This movie was a lesson in many aspects of life. It was made during a time that these things were much needed but we can certainly apply the same selflessness to our daily lives today. It is funny and dramatic, fast moving and keeps your interest. Spencer Tracy is good, so was Van Johnson in that part! Ward Bond is always so good at anything he dose, he is such a great SUPPORTING actor he supports and complements, he always seems to be the character he is playing.

    Yet, again I must say Irene Dunne is a Jewel, she does every character in such a believable manner you feel they could be your next door neighbor. Thank You Irene !

    Nice Drama

    Guy Named Joe, A (1943)

    *** (out of 4)

    Well-acted drama has a hot shot pilot (Spencer Tracy) getting killed during a WW2 battle leaving his fiancé (Irene Dunne) all alone. The dead pilot eventually comes back as a ghost to help a young pilot (Van Johnson) but soon his morals come into question when the young man starts dating his fiancé. This here seems to remain a popular movie considering how many times Turner Classic Movies plays it a year. The same can't be said for the Steven Spielberg remake, Always, which seems to have already been forgotten as one of the director's minor works. This film here is certainly sappy and predictable but the wonderful cast makes it very entertaining to watch even though the running time is a tad bit long. Tracy leads the way with a very touching performance that lets the actor show off various emotions ranging from anger to sweetness to even some nice comic tones. Tracy was also great at playing the tough guy with a heart and this here is no exception. Dunne is good in her role but I was surprised to see how blandly written it was. She basically just sits around (or stands) waiting for one of the men to come up to her and considering how star level at the time it's rather shocking to see her role not juiced up a bit. Johnson steals the film as the new pilot who mirrors Tracy's character too much. The naive innocence Johnson brings to the role is quite memorable. Lionel Barrymore, James Gleason and Ward Bond all offer up nice support. Barry Nelson and Esther Williams have small roles as well. The are a few battle scenes, which look extremely well including the main battle at the middle of the film when Tracy gets killed. The aerial footage was well shot and manages to be quite dramatic as well. The cinematography is another plus as is the music score. Again, the main problem tends to be in the screenplay, which really doesn't allow for too many surprises and that includes the ending, which isn't believable and really comes off rather silly. The great cast makes it worth watching though.

    A Still Successful World War II Fantasy

    The question that faces (or scares) Americans ever since the debacle of Vietnam is: is patriotism dead here. Because of that national nightmare we have questioned every government foreign policy ever since. Naturally we should question them, but it sometimes seems that our questioning causes a national paralysis of will. Time will tell (and shortly) if the Iraqi - Afghani incursions will add to this paralysis.

    It was not the case in 1943, when A GUY NAMED JOE was made by MGM. The film is about a hot shot air force pilot (Spencer Tracy) who is in a squadron commanded by James Gleason. Although they have a friendship, Gleason is constantly having problems about Tracy's independence from rules. Frequently they pay off in damaging the enemy, but they break safety rules. Gleason also sympathizes with Tracy's girlfriend (Irene Dunne) who wants Tracy to take a quieter job (like training fliers in the states). Just when Tracy is about to take such a job, he goes on a mission, and his plane is hit. After the crew bails out, Tracy (instead of ditching) flies the plane kamikaze style into a German aircraft carrier and sinks it (but he dies).

    In the afterlife, Tracy is taken under the wing of the "General" (Lionel Barrymore), and is assigned to act like a conscience or guide to budding air force pilots. He is assigned to Van Johnson, and helps him get more confidence. Johnson is assigned to a war theater where Gleason's command is, and where Dunne is. Dunne is mourning Tracy, but their closest mutual friend (Ward Bond) gets her to go out to enjoy herself. She meets Johnson, and an affair begins. Tracy gets jealous as a result.

    The film follows as Tracy and Dunne finally accept the truth about the ending of their physical contact. It moves to the point of tragedy here when Tracy finally releases Dunne from the harshness of the emotional chains that bind them, and that lead Dunne to do something atypical and foolhardy for the intelligent person she supposedly is. In the end she and Johnson find a new happiness together, while Tracy goes to his next "angel" assignment.

    Fantasy is usually tied to one set of ideas or theme, but what is good World War II American propaganda became a study in tragic resignation. Fortunately the acting level of A GUY NAMED JOE was so high, that the fantasy transcended the historical period film and left us with a film of emotional loss and rebuilding. As such it is a fine movie.

    One final point, on a historical level. Who is Lionel Barrymore supposed to be? He is only referred to as "the General" and he died before the war. He is highly respected as a great air figure. Tracy quickly recognizes him, and tells Barry Nelson he wanted to take him up in one of the new aircraft that had been built. So who is Barrymore supposedly?

    The key is the model airplane on Barrymore's desk. It is a model of a Martin Bomber. That was the plane used in 1921 to sink two battleships in Chesapeake Bay, and to prove the theories of an air power pioneer that the future of warfare was not with dreadnoughts but with air planes. The "General" is supposed to be Brigadier General Billy Mitchell.

    • Trivia
      Dos en el cielo (1943) was reportedly director Steven Spielberg's favorite and remade by him in 1989. Spielberg's film, entitled Siempre (1989), starred Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter and Brad Johnson in the principal roles, as the same Pete Sandich, Durinda Durston and Al Yackey. The characters of "Ted" and "Nails" were also included. The setting of that film was updated to the present and centered on the activities of forest fire-fighting pilots. Spielberg also included a clip from 'A Guy Named Joe' in his film Poltergeist: Juegos Diabólicos (1982).
    • Errores
      Late in the movie Dorinda (Irene Dunne) is wearing the uniform of a Women Airforce Service Pilot (WASP), apparently still ferrying airplanes. However, WASPs never ferried planes to overseas locations, especially combat areas such as New Guinea, which is in the Southwest Pacific. Earlier in the movie she is in England; however, she was wearing a British uniform and women regularly ferried planes there and even encountered combat conditions.
    • Citas

      The General: No man is really dead unless he breaks faith with the future, and no man is really alive unless he accepts his responsibility to it.

    • Créditos curiosos
      The film ends with the following written inscription: "To Families and Friends of Men and Women in Our Armed Forces. The picture you have just seen is being shown in combat areas overseas with the compliments of the American Motion Picture Industry."
