[1] They first worked together in 1941 at the Village Gate in New York City, as writers and performers in a nightclub act called The Revuers.
Following their involvement with Billion Dollar Baby which premiered the following year, they signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; the agreement debuted with the film Good News (1947), for which they were screenwriters and additional lyricists.
Comden and Green then continued their career with musical films: Singin' In The Rain (1952), The Band Wagon (1953), It's Always Fair Weather (1955), and The Barkleys of Broadway (1949).
They continued producing films and starred in plays, with their most successful revue being A Party with Betty Comden and Adolph Green (1958), though they ended their filmmaking career with What A Way To Go!
This was later redeemed by the success of their play The Will Rogers Follies (1991), which gave them and Coleman another Tony Award for Best Original Score.
