Gene Kelly wears an unidentified watch

Gene Kelly co-directed It's Always Fair Weather (1955) with Stanley Donen and starred in it, the same arrangement that produced Singin' in the Rain three years earlier. Betty Comden and Adolph Green wrote the screenplay and the songs. But where Singin' in the Rain was joyful, this one is bitter — three WWII buddies meet ten years after the war and discover they've become people they wouldn't have liked in 1945. Kelly plays Ted Riley, who went from dancing soldier to cynical advertising executive.

Riley wears a gold watch in the film, visible in some scenes, though the sighting image shows the famous trash-can-lid dance number where three soldiers celebrate their discharge and the watch isn't in evidence. The brand is unidentified. As a status accessory on a character who traded wartime idealism for a Madison Avenue salary, it fits the film's theme of postwar disillusionment.
