It's Always Fair Weather is a 1955 MGM film scripted by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, who also wrote the show's lyrics, scored by Andre Previn and starring Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey, Cyd Charisse, Michael Kidd, and Dolores Gray. Directed by Kelly and Stanley Donen, the film is about three ex-G.I.'s who have served in World War II together and became best friends. Ten years after the end of the war, they decide to reunite at an old hang-out. However, they soon realize that they have steadily grown apart in the intervening years and are now very different people. Unbeknowst to them, a manipulative television program reunites the trio live on air where they brawl with sordid individuals connected with Kelly's character's underworld connections. Eventually, the three men put their differences aside and reconnect as they did in their old army days.
