“Sunday Jumps,” a reaction to the restlessness one feels on a

weekend. The number was conceived, said Donen, to show that

Fred Astaire, devoid of a human partner, could dance with

anything — even a clumsy coatrack.

The script was written after

which the songs would fit.

Spring, Spring, SpringMusic by Gene de Paul

The censors weren’t too happy about the line in the song

“Lonesome Polecat” where the brothers lament “A man can’t

sleep when he sleeps with sheep”. By not showing any sheep

in the same shot as the brothers, the filmmakers were able to

get away with it.

Soundtrack & Lyrics

Thought it was an original musical, “It’s Always Fair Weather”

employed a device that would show up in later screen adaptations

of Broadway smashes: holding after the finale of a number long

enough for the audience to applaud.
