Near[ZiYuantun.Com]ly 20 years after it opened on Broadway, the E.Y. Harburg/Fred Saidy musical Finian's Rainbow was committed to film. Set in the mythical southern state of Missitucky, the story involves the whimsical Irishman Finian (Fred Astaire) and his daughter Sharon (Petula Clark) arriving in the community carrying a crock of gold, which they've stolen in the Auld Sod from Ogg the Leprechaun (Tommy Steele). Finian believes that if he buries the crock on American soil, it will grow into an even larger treasure--just as Fort Knox did (or so he thinks). Sharon falls in love with sharecropper Woody Mahoney (Don Francks), who like everyone else in the community is being threatened by the perfidy of Senator Rawkins (Keenan Wynn). While Finian haggles over three wishes with the tricky Ogg, Sharon runs afoul of the racially bigoted Rawkins. She wishes that Rawkins would turn black so that he could walk in someone else's shoes for a change--and this, thanks to Ogg, is exactly what happens. To rescue Sharon and Woody from being burned as witches, Ogg grants a last wish, which turns him into a human being; this is not an altogether bad thing, for Ogg has fallen in love with mysterious mountain gal Susan the Silent (Barbara Hancock). The racial tolerance subtext of Finian's Rainbow, considered radical in 1948, seemed rather antiquated in 1969, though it did allow for a hilarious scene in which a white associate of Judge Rawkins attempts to instruct young black botanist Al Freeman Jr. on the proper way to"act Negro". As Finian, Fred Astaire requested that the role be expanded to allow him to dance a little (as written, the character barely even sings). Most of the original score remains intact, including the hit song"How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" Francis Ford Coppola seemed a curious choice to direct a musical, and indeed the production was a troubled one due to Coppola's inexperience in the genre. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide 　　译文(3): E.Y.Harburg/Fred Saidy的音乐剧《Finian’s Rainbow》在百老汇上映近20年后，致力于电影创{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。故事发生在神秘的南部密西塔基州，故事涉及异想天开的爱尔兰人菲尼安（弗雷德·阿斯泰尔饰）和他的女儿莎伦（佩图拉·克拉克饰）带着一罐金子来到社区，这是他们在奥尔德草地从小妖精奥格（汤米·斯蒂尔饰）那里偷来的。菲尼安相信，如果他把陶器埋在美国的土地上，它将成长为一个更大的宝藏——就像诺克斯堡所做的那样（或者他是这么认为的）。莎伦爱上了佃农伍迪·马奥尼（唐·弗兰克斯饰），他和社区里的其他人一样，正受到参议员罗金斯（基南·韦恩饰）背信弃义的威胁。当菲尼安与狡猾的奥格为三个愿望讨价还价时，莎伦与种族偏见的罗金斯发生了冲突。她希望罗金斯能变黑，这样他就可以站在别人的立场上改变了——多亏了奥格，这正是发生的事情。为了救莎伦和伍迪免于被当作女巫烧死，奥格许下了最后一个愿望，把他变成了一个人；这并不是一件完全糟糕的事情，因为奥格爱上了神秘的山区女孩沉默的苏珊（芭芭拉·汉考克饰）。菲尼安的《彩虹》在1948年被认为是激进的，但在1969年，它的种族宽容潜台词似乎相当过时，尽管它确实允许出现一个滑稽的场景，在这个场景中，罗金斯法官的一名白人助手试图指导年轻的黑人植物学家小阿尔·弗里曼如何“；黑人行为”；。作为菲尼安，弗雷德·阿斯泰尔要求扩大这个角色，让他能跳一点舞（正如所写的，这个角色几乎不会唱歌）。大部分原始配乐保持原样，包括热门歌曲《》；格洛卡莫拉的情况如何"；弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉（Francis Ford Coppola）执导音乐剧似乎是一个奇怪的选择，事实上，由于科波拉在这一类型上缺乏经验，这部音乐剧的制作陷入了困境Hal Erickson，所有电影指南
