Three Little Words is a 1950 American biographical musical comedy film directed by Richard Thorpe from a screenplay by George Wells. It stars Fred Astaire as lyricist Bert Kalmar and Red Skelton as composer Harry Ruby, Vera-Ellen and Arlene Dahl, with Debbie Reynolds in a small role as singer Helen Kane and Gloria DeHaven as her own mother, Mrs. Carter DeHaven.

Production

The film was one of Astaire's favorites. Three Little Words takes fewer liberties with the facts than many Hollywood biopics, and Astaire and Skelton's portrayal of the songwriting partnership is considered psychologically accurate. Adding to the film's appeal is the quality acting and mutual chemistry between Skelton and Astaire, as well as some fine comedy touches from Skelton.

Unusually for songwriting biographies of this period, "Thinking of You" and "Nevertheless (I'm in Love with You)" became major hits on the U.S. music charts when the film was released, reaching numbers one and two, respectively.
