Finian's Rainbow (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Me Magnetic Feather Finian (Fred Astaire) has sneaked into the night in Misstucky, U.S.A., to bury the pot of gold he's brought from Ireland, convinced it will grow, when he meets leprechaun Og (Tommy Steele, his first scene), who has a complaint, in Finian's Rainbow, 1968.

Finian's Rainbow (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Look To The Rainbow Petula Clark sings the Burton Lane and E.Y. Harburg tune, as she and Fred Astaire (playing her Irish father) traverse the United States, in Francis Coppola's charming, if geographically incoherent, opening credit sequence, from Finian's Rainbow, 1968.

Finian's Rainbow (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Something Sort Of Grandish Irish Sharon (Petula Clark) has just fished leprechaun Og (Tommy Steele) from the well at her new home in the U-S-A, though he doesn't realize she's fallen for another, as they deliver a tune by Burton Lane and E.Y. Harburg, in Finian's Rainbow, 1968.

Finian's Rainbow (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Follow The Fellow Fred Astaire (as Finian, fresh from Ireland), age 68, in his last musical, leads Petula Clark (as daughter Sharon), who was convinced she couldn't dance with him, into their first number, all the American kids supporting, Francis Coppola directing, in Finian's Rainbow, 1968.

Meet The People (1944) -- (Movie Clip) Heave Ho! In the context of the dispute-cum-romance between Broadway star Julie (Lucille Ball) and shipyard worker-composer "Swanee" (Dick Powell), his tipsy colleague "The Commander" (Bert Lahr) offers this Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg primer on how to christen a boat, in MGM's Meet The People, 1944.
