Wiki.
Finian's Rainbow is a 1968 American musical fantasy film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and adapted by E. Y. Harburg and Fred Saidy from the 1947 stage musical of the same name. It stars Fred Astaire, Petula Clark, and Tommy Steele. The plot follows an Irishman and his daughter, who steal a leprechaun's magic pot of gold and emigrate to the American South, where they become involved in a dispute between rural landowners and a greedy, racist U.S. senator.
Finian's Rainbow was Coppola's second film for a major studio, and third overall directorial work. It was released by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts on October 9, 1968, and was both a critical and commercial success. It received Oscar nominations for Best Score (Ray Heindorf) and Best Sound, along with five Golden Globe nominations, including for Best Motion Picture β Musical or Comedy.
