comment |
A Broadway musical from 1947, created by Fred Saidy (book), E.Y. "Yip" Harburg (book and lyrics), and Burton Lane (music). Due to its popularity it was revived several times, and it was adapted into a feature film in 1968, directed by Francis Ford Coppola as his first studio feature and starring Fred Astaire and Petula Clark.The story follows Finian McLonergan, an Irish immigrant, and his daughter Sharon to Missitucky, USA. Finian has stolen a magical pot of gold from leprechauns back in Ireland and plans to plant it in the ground near Fort Knox. Og, a leprechaun in charge of the treasure, follows him, desperately trying to get the gold back. They arrive in Rainbow Valley, a small community led by the carefree Woody Mahoney, and matters are further complicated by the corrupt Senator Rawkins, Finian hiding and losing the gold, and the magical properties of the gold itself. |

Heel-Face Mind Screw: What Og does to Rawkins. The Hard Truth Aesop that often comes with this trope is arguably made somewhat less creepy by the fact that Og is, y'know, a leprechaun. |

Color Me Black: Sharon tells a racist senator she wishes he were black so he would understand what black people have to go through due to people who think like he does. She happens to be standing where a pot of magical wish-granting gold is buried, so... well, you can guess where this is going. |
