Synopsis

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.
