It's Always Fair Weather (sh. Uvijek je lijepo vrijeme) je američki filmski mjuzikl snimljen 1955. godine u režiji Genea Kellyja i Stanleya Donena. Protagonisti, koje tumače Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey i Michael Kidd, su tri veterana Drugog svjetskog rata koji se nakon deset godina ponovno sreću u New Yorku, a radnja prati njihove komične pustolovine vezane uz nastojanje da se njihov susret rekonsturira u televizijskoj emisiji.

It's Always Fair Weather je originalno bio zamišljen kao nastavak klasičnog MGM-ovog mjuzikla On the Town, koji je lansirao Kellyjevu i Donenovu karijeru. Kelly je, međutim, zbog prethodnih neslaganja sa Donenom, prilično teško pristao na sudjelovanje u projektu, dok su producenti odbili ponovno angažirati Franka Sinatru zbog "teške" reputacije na setovima, a Jules Manshin je prestao biti zvijezda. Snimanje filma su obilježile brojne poteškoće, prije svega vezane uz svađe Donena, kako sa producentima - koji su protiv njegove volje nametnuli korištenje Cinemascope formata - tako i sa Kellyjem, koji su konačno okončale njegovo prijateljstvo. Usprkos toga, It's Always Fair Weather je nakon premijere dobio izvrsne kritike i dan-danas se smatra jednim od najboljih MGM-ovih mjuzikala. Publika ga, međutim, nije prihvatila, a što se tumači prije svega njegovim za tadašnje standarde relativno mračnim i ciničnim tonom.
