    • Trivia
      Gene Kelly bought the roller skates for the "I Like Myself" number down the block from his house at Pioneer Hardware on Beverly Drive. He also mentioned that the skates were not altered in any way; they weren't locked to his shoes, so when he tapped in them, he had no help.
    • Goofs
      In the 1945-1955 montage, the shot of the 1953 New Years Eve crowds at Times Square shows Sundown (1941) at the Criterion Theatre, so it's obviously New Years Eve 1941-1942 footage.
    • Quotes

      Doug Hallerton: There must be some more dignified way to sell Klenzrite... like you, taking a bath in it, stark naked in Macy's window.

    "Boys, don't be like me, live clean, use Klenzrite."
    It's Always Fair Weather has a somewhat ironic title, because it's not like most every other M-G-M musical in that things don't always turn out perfectly. I believe that its darker-than-average humour (for that time at least) contributed to its being ahead of its time. For instance, the plot has to do with a friendship not being the same after ten years, a boxing match being fixed, a jaded woman (Charisse), a corporation sell-out (Dailey), and a "small-time operator" (Kelly). The numbers, though, are typically excellent, particularly the dance in the beginning where the trio is drunk, Cyd's Baby You Knock Me Out, and Kelly's famous I Like Myself, in which he tap dances on rollerskates! Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen's choreography is nothing short of dazzling. And yes, Gene's smile could still melt stone. Cyd Charisse is great and beautiful as always, too bad she had only one number. So go see It's Always Fair Weather, just don't expect anything real fluffy.
