Finian's Rainbow (1968)

This movie musical is one of the last films that can truly be said to have been made under the old studio system. It was ordered up by the top brass largely to take advantage of pre-existing props, costumes, and sets. The film stars Fred Astaire as pixilated Irishman who takes his daughter (Patula Clark) to America, and settles near a Kentucky tobacco co-operative. Astaire is chased from Ireland by a Leprechaun whose gold he stole, Clark falls in love with a guitar toting yokel, a deaf girl dances, and dixiecrat Senator Keenan Wynn learns a lesson about racism. Ironically all of this was directed by a young Francis Ford Coppola. Honestly I mostly kept it on as background.
