Full Plot Details

Of Glocca Morra, Ireland, Finian McLongeran, who has his own unique belief system of Irish legends, uproots himself and his adult daughter, Sharon McLonergan, and heads for the mythical land of Rainbow Valley, Missitucky, USA where he believes he will become rich. One of those beliefs is that burying a crock of gold in Rainbow Valley will make it multiply, due to the power of rainbows and the Valley's close proximity to Fort Knox. Finian considers that he "borrowed" the crock of gold he has from the leprechauns of Glocca Morra, which he plans to return once he makes his fortune. Little does he know that in taking the gold, the leprechauns can no longer make wishes come true and are slowly turning mortal. One of those leprechauns, Og, has come to retrieve the crock of gold to save himself and his fellow leprechauns. Finian and Sharon's arrival in Rainbow Valley coincides with the return of the Valley's prodigal son, Woody Mahoney, who has come to repay back taxes before his land is auctioned off. Woody's sister, Susan Mahoney, is referred to by most Susan the Silent, as she has never spoken and communicates primarily through dance. In helping the Mahoneys repay those taxes, Finian only asks for a small parcel of that land for him and Sharon, and mostly for a place to bury the crock of gold. With the rest of the land, Woody and his friend, Howard, a research botanist, plan to revolutionize the tobacco industry by growing the first ever mentholated tobacco plants, which is a little more difficult to accomplish than they initially believe. Much like Finian, Woody plans on getting rich the easy way, in Woody's case off the hard work of Howard. Regardless of Sharon's dislike of what Woody is doing by being what she considers a schemer, the two fall in love. Finian's assistance of Woody in keeping the land irks bigoted Senator Billboard Rawkins, who has been trying to buy up as much land in the Valley as possible. Complications ensue for all involved because of the crock of gold, even though most have not seen it or even know it exists for real.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertA marvelous evening right up to its last shot of Astaire walking away down a country road.
Nitrate Online - 9/10 by Dan LybargerAn inauspicious early Coppola film of a muscial that was already dated by the time the cameras rolled.
The Spectator - 6/10 by Penelope HoustonFrancis Ford Coppola, whose previous film was the bouncing You're a Big Boy Now, again directs like a bulldozer with a sense of humour.
CinePassion - 4/10 by Fernando F. CroceAn allegory of the end of the studio system, couched in archaic-modern mementos
User Review - 10/10 by Lindsay Elizabeth MHlarious! Tommy Steele plays an awesome Leprechaun - its a shame he is not in it more - beautifully made and I guarantee that you'll be singing in no time!
User Review - 10/10 by Marc LMy fav from Fred! The music is some of my fevorites... Old Devil Moon, The Girl I'm With... DELIGHTFUL!
User Review - 10/10 by Frank RIt will have you believing in leprechauns!
User Review - 10/10 by Anna SI just saw this movie yesterday! It's so good!
User Review - 10/10 by Wee-Shazzie-G WGreat wee film!!! Makes me feel good every time i see it!!
User Review - 10/10 by Diana RThis is my favorite movie ever, the comfort movie I always go back to when I need a lift. In terms of story and character I'm sure it's just average, but it speaks to all the things that have been important to me since I was old enough to form ideas independent of my parents. Those same themes are what is important to me now.
