Movie Reviews of Finian's Rainbow
Movie Review: Long, but good
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a too long movie, that needn't be. Don Francks, and Petula Clark are just wonderful, if not exceptional, and really make you regret how few movies they made. The content was of the times, race relations, prejudice, and money, all in a song and wonderful story. However it really didn't need an intermission. ( It's not "Gone With the Wind"). The stars really kept this from being a "Movie of the Week" also director Francis Ford Coppola, showed his talent in this regard. Astaire is what you would expect. A true Star. This is a crossover Musical like the strange "Tommy" and sadly could only expect things like "Zanado" in it's wake. Till 25 year later when "Moulin Rouge" brought the musical back into relevance.
Movie Review: A Good Musical
Summary: 4 Stars
Finian's Rainbow is a good, family musical that gave Fred Astaire a chance to stretch his dancing legs again. The story makes it a decent piece of St. Paddy's Day flair. The show was a hit on Broadway in the late 40s, and Francis Ford Coppola brought it to the screen in this 1968 version. The cast includes performances by Petula Clark, Tommy Steele (a HUGE name in British pop-rock in the early 60s), Keenan Wynn and Don Francks. Hidden beneath the surface of this gem of a musical is a social commentary that was farily blatant for the times.Movie Review: Finian's Rainbow
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a modern version of "Brigadoon" set in the 60's.
It is light with good songs and dancing sequences.
It is very much a family movie, however probable politically incorrect in todays enviroment because the story line is centered around the production of smokeless tobbacco.
Its a long movie but if you like musicals and old fashioned values you will enjoy this movie.
Movie Review: odd, in a good way
Summary: 4 Stars
it takes a special kind of person to watch the entire movie without developing a migraine, but if you go the distance, you'll love it. it's quirky, silly, goofy, insert synonym, and it sticks with you. I first saw it when i was 10, and it's one of my favorite movies. i often find myself singing the songs, especially "Look to the Rainbow" and "When I'm not Near the Girl I Love."Movie Review: Finian's Rainbow
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a good overall movie. I think there was a touch too much leprechan time though. Some numbers where a little long. But........Fred Astaire, 69, dancing up and down boxes...Hurray for him! Nice Dancing!
