Finian’s Rainbow (1968) starring Fred Astaire, Petula Clark, Tommy Steele, Keenan Wynn

Fred Astaire sang and danced his last musical lead in Finian’s Rainbow, director Francis Ford Coppola’s 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.
