Nearly 20 years after it opened on Broadway the EY HarburgFred Saidy musical Finians Rainbow was committed to film Set in the mythical southern state of Missitucky the story involves the whimsical Irishman Finian Fred Astaire and his daughter Sharon Petula Clark arriving in the community carrying a crock of gold which theyve stolen in ...[显示全部]the Auld Sod from Ogg the Leprechaun Tommy Steele Finian believes that if he buries the crock on American soil it will grow into an even larger treasurejust as Fort Knox did or so he thinks Sharon falls in love with sharecropper Woody Mahoney Don Francks who like everyone else in the community is being threatened by the perfidy of Senator Rawkins Keenan Wynn While Finian haggles over three wishes with the tricky Ogg Sharon runs afoul of the racially bigoted Rawkins She wishes that Rawkins would turn black so that he could walk in someone elses shoes for a changeand this thanks to Ogg is exactly what happens To rescue Sharon and Woody from being burned as witches Ogg grants a last wish which turns him into a human being this is not an altogether bad thing for Ogg has fallen in love with mysterious mountain gal Susan the Silent Barbara Hancock The racial tolerance subtext of Finians Rainbow considered radical in 1948 seemed rather antiquated in 1969 though it did allow for a hilarious scene in which a white associate of Judge Rawkins attempts to instruct young black botanist Al Freeman Jr on the proper way to act Negro As Finian Fred Astaire requested that the role be expanded to allow him to dance a little as written the character barely even sings Most of the original score remains intact including the hit song How Are Things in Glocca Morra Francis Ford Coppola seemed a curious choice to direct a musical and indeed the production was a troubled one due to Coppolas inexperience in the genre ~ Hal Erickson All Movie Guide
