Amazon.com essential video:
The third collaboration between Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, It's Always Fair Weather falls short of the classics On the Town and Singin' in the Rain, mostly due to a slow plot and middling songs by Andre Previn, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green. In a story reminiscent of On the Town, Kelly, Dan Dailey, and Michael Kidd play three GIs who return from the war vowing to stay buddies forever. When they reunite 10 years later, however, they find they have little in common, other than having given up on their dreams. Best known as the choreographer of such MGM evergreens as Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, the diminutive Kidd proves adept at kicking up his heels in front of the camera. Cyd Charisse plays a scheming television producer (an unusually down-home character) and Delores Gray is the toothy TV show host. (Gray gets to sing and Charisse dances a little, though not with Kelly.) The best moments, of course, are the dance numbers Kelly choreographed, including the three GIs' trash-can-lid dance, Charisse's solo supported by a crew of boxers, and Kelly's number on roller skates, "I Like Myself," which combines some of the free spirit of "Singin' in the Rain" with the stunt footwear made famous by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in 1937's Shall We Dance. Enjoyable, but not quite a classic. --David Horiuchi

This film is a relatively neglected example of one of the MGM classic musicals. Michael Kidd and Gene Kelly both worked on the choreography, and although the story is a little bit weak, the singing and dancing is excellent. Watch out for the dance with the dustbin lids!

A great musical and very contemporary specially for that genre of film. Great dance numbers and a bitter story, not so conventional for musicals. The last big musical closing a golden era.

I just had my first look at this on DVD with it boasting a restored print and in widescreen CinemaScope. I had only seen this one other time, years ago on a formatted-to-TV VHS print. The visuals are much better, of course, in widescreen and even the story seemed better.
To be honest, though, I only recommend it for fans of of the classic film era, or for classic-era musicals. If you are used to modern-day films, this will look and sound way too corny for you.

Allegedly, this was supposed to be a sort of sequel to "On The Town" but Frank Sinatra didn't want to do it. Plus Jules Mushin isn't in it, either, and it's 3 Army guys, not sailors.
The story is a downer. Three Army buddies promise to meet in10 years, October 11, 1955 to show Tim (the bartender) that they would always be buddies. Gene Kelly, who intends to go to law school and become a politician, gets dumped by (presumably) his girlfriend and decides to make his living as a gambler. Michael ... Read More

It's Always Fair Weather was one of MGM's last musicals and re-teamed Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly (they had already appeared in Brigadoon together and part of Singin' In the Rain). This is not your typical MGM musical.
The point of the story is three WWII friends, upon returning from the war, promise to meet again in ten years at the same place. Ten years pass and they all show up, but realize they have all changed and have nothing in common. On of the men (Dan Dailey) works for a TV show ... Read More
