With Don (Gene Kelly) in low spirits, Cosmo (Donald O'Connor) gives him a pep talk in the form of this wild knockabout slapstick musical number. Reportedly, O'Connor improvised the choreography in a single take and was so exhausted at the end of filming that he needed to spend three days in bed to recover. The footage of that number was then accidentally ruined, so O'Connor shot the number again and spent another three days in bed.
