It's Always Fair Weather

Three ex-G.I.s, Ted Riley (Gene Kelly), Doug Hallerton (Dan Dailey), and Angie Valentine (Michael Kidd), have served in World War II together and become best friends. In October 1945, they meet at their favorite New York City bar, Tim's Bar & Grill, before their release from the service. When Ted receives a Dear John letter from his girlfriend telling him she has married another man, his friends comfort him and join him in hitting every other bar in town. The trio protest, insisting that they will be different and promise to reunite exactly ten years later in the same spot. Ten years later, the three men take entirely different paths, associating with people from their pasts who were once part of their group. Following the initial excitement, they quickly realize that they now have nothing in common and actually dislike each other. At a TV show hosted by Madeline Bradville (Dolores Gray), Jackie Leighton (Cyd Charisse) helps rekindle Ted's self-esteem, while Doug begins to see the corporate life in a new light. The three ex-service buddies fight and defeat the gangsters tracking Ted inside the studio, bringing the trio back together one last time at Tim's Bar & Grill where they remember their promise and make plans for no future reunions.
