A funny thing happened to Finian's Rainbow in between its debut as a Broadway musical in 1947 and its appearance as a film in 1968. After 21 years, its theme of racial tension in the American South was no longer cutting edge, and the fact that its heroes are a group of sharecroppers called the Rainbow Valley Tobacco Cooperative dates it even further. Add a number of subplots and the heavy hand of a 29-year-old Francis Ford Coppola directing his first and only musical, and the two-and-a-half-hour running time feels bloated. Hermes Pan (best known for the classic Astaire-Rogers movies) is credited with choreographing the overbusy musical numbers, but he was reportedly overruled by Coppola at every turn. Still, there is a lot to enjoy in this movie, most notably Fred Astaire in his last lead role in a musical. Fred plays Finian McLonergan, an Irishman who has traveled to America in hopes of planting a pilfered pot of gold near Fort Knox and watching it grow. Even at 69, Fred shows he is still capable of a sprightly step and warbling "Look to the Rainbow." Another plus is the casting of '60s pop icon Petula Clark as his daughter, as she sings with an unaffected loveliness. Finally, the score by Burton Lane and E.Y. Harburg includes two of the best Broadway songs ever written--"Old Devil Moon" and "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?"--as well as the comic ditty "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love." --David Horiuchi

Finian's Rainbow is a fun adventure. Can't go wrong with Fred Astaire. Petula Clark was ok but needed more of an Irish brogue.

Fred Astaire, Tommy Steele and Petula Clark all did quite well with the script they were given, and I think Astaire's singing was better than it ever was. The movie is rather corny and there is so much singing and dancing that you begin to wonder at times if there's really a movie in there or just a concert. The movie is longer than it needs to be and I found I was getting fidgity--wanting it to move on already. Though I always liked to watch Astaire's dancing, I got pretty bored with the dancing ...

I had watched this movie years ago when it first came out and remembered I liked it. I had it ordered for my library. This is an excellent family movie. Fred Astaire and the rest of the cast are superb in their dances and songs. Many who have checked it out from the library have also had great comments about the movie.

"Finian's Rainbow" (1968) is one of the few films I saw three times in the theater, and since repeat viewings are normally not my thing it must have made some connection or maybe I just enjoyed watching Barbara Hancock dance. Despite this I agree with most of the critical comments about portions of the film.
Unfortunately it was assembled as a 145 minute "roadshow" musical; these were overlong spectaculars which depended less on the charm of the performers (think 1930's) than on pre-sold ... Read More
