Fred Astaire and Petula Clark with Don Francks, Keenan Wynn, introducing Barbara Hancock and Tommy Steele as the leprechaun.

"He wears a ratty old cardigan instead of tails, a battered felt hat in place of a topper - but one glimpse of those agile feet and you know he's Fred Astaire. The great entertainer sang and danced his last musical lead in Finian's Rainbow, director Francis Ford Coppola's exuberant movie of the 1947 Broadway hit. Astaire plays an Irish rogue who plants a stolen crock of leprechaun gold in the soil near Fort Knox to reap what he thinks will be a rich harvest. In tow are his spirited daughter (Petula Clark), a love struck leprechaun (Tommy Steele) and a bigoted Southern senator (Keenan Wynn) transformed by misbegotten magic. The treasurable Burton Lane/E.Y. Harburg score includes How Are Things In Glocca Morra?, Look Into the Rainbow, If This Isn't Love and Old Devil Moon. Watching it, you'll be in clover. Four-leaf all the way."--Container.
