 Finian's Rainbow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Hubley was given an offer to make an animated version of the musical, starring the voice talents of Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald, but he was fllisted at the time.
A 1968 film version directed by Francis Ford Coppola starred Fred Astaire as McLonergan, Petula Clark as Sharon, Don Francks as Woody Mahoney and Tommy Steele as Og.
Released at a time when the popularity of movie musicals was on the wane, it was dismissed as inconsequential by most critics, who found Astaire's obviously frail and aged appearance shocking and Steele's manic performance annoying.

 Don Francks
Canadian actor/singer Don Francks spent his formative performing years in his native country as a nightclub jazz vocalist, an all-night disc jockey, a member of a barbershop quartet called the Model T Four, and a trombonist in a country-western band.
The threesome consisted of an American, an Englishman and a Frenchman; Francks was the American, Franklin Shepard, a psychological warfare expert who dressed immaculately and took snuff.
It was back to Canadian TV spots and club dates for Francks until he was cast in the big-budget Hollywood musical Finian's Rainbow (1968), where, alas, he was effortlessly upstaged by Fred Astaire and Tommy Steele.

 Finian's Rainbow
Sharecropper Woody Mahoney (Don Francks) and the rest of the community of Rainbow Valley are fighting to keep their land and tobacco crop away from the greedy, racist hands of Senator Billboard Rawkins (Keenan Wynn) and his assistant, Buzz Collins (Ronald Colby).
When it is cropped, the Don Francks and Petula Clark number, "Old Devil Moon," changes from a standard romantic duet to an intimate and passionate ballad, with the faces of the stars filling the screen so tightly they seem unable to draw away from one another.
Petula Clark is lovely in her first big number though the spectres of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy hover over her duets with the stolid Don Francks.

I felt that the most personally emotional moment for Pet this entire evening, occurred near the end of the first set, when it was learned her co-star in the 1968 Fred Astaire movie ‘Finian’s Rainbow’, Don Francks, was in the audience.
She was about to go into another tune, anticipating Francks would be coming to the stage later in the evening.
Francks was in fine vocal form, singing a low baritone to Pet’s multi-range vocals, that hit the highs and some very low tones; demonstrating what a remarkable range Pet’s clear, resonant vocals are capable of.
