The story follows three World War II veterans—Ted Riley, Doug Hallerton, and Angie Valentine—played by Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey, and Michael Kidd, respectively. They make a pact to meet again in ten years at their favorite bar, but when they reunite, they discover that they have drifted apart and their lives have taken unexpected turns.

The film explores the tension and comedy that arises from their contrasting lifestyles and the changes they have undergone.

The film also incorporates social commentary, addressing themes such as the commercialization of society and the challenges of maintaining friendships in a changing world. It reflects the post-war era and the disillusionment felt by many veterans as they returned to civilian life.
Gene Kelly's performance as Ted Riley adds depth to the character, and the chemistry between the three leads enhances the film's comedic and dramatic elements. The film also features a memorable supporting performance by Cyd Charisse as Jackie Leighton, a dancer and Ted's love interest.
While "It's Always Fair Weather" may not be as celebrated as some of the other musicals from the era, it remains a notable entry in the genre, appreciated for its unique approach to storytelling and its exploration of the complexities of friendship and personal growth.
