Science-fiction fantasy, based on a story written by Steven Spielberg , starring Hume Cronyn Jessica Tandy
When an unscrupulous New York developer sends round thugs to a crumbling building to remove the last five tenants, it looks as if nothing short of a miracle can save them. But help arrives - in the shape of two tiny extra-terrestrial visitors with magical powers. This film was made by Spielberg's production company and based on a story of his own which was orginally written for, but never used in, his Amazing Stories TV series. (1987)
(Steven Spielberg's Always will be shown tomorrow at 8.20pm on BBC1)
