avoid the superbowl with the terrific, bittersweet musical It's Always Fair Weather, (on TCM this aft. 1500 PST, just before the over-rated "Down in the Hole") which features one of the the few occasions where the great choreographer Michael (Seven Brides &c. &c.)

Shot in earthbound Eastman color, It's Always Fair Weather doesn't look or feel like the Technicolor froth that preceded it. It
lacks any of those big dream ballets that Kelly's films are often building towards, and feels altogether less whimsical, loaded as it is
with broken friendships and dashed dreams...
