A fast walking man is hard to beat!

ABC TV is broadcasting their heavily edited version of the special tonight at 7 PM Central time. Would have been great to do a behind-the-scenes special to celebrate the 45th anniversary. I offered.

FINIAN'S RAINBOW
Just finished watching FINIAN'S RAINBOW :) Awesome film! Francis Ford Coppola's first big film (his second) at age 29. I believe this film was the reason Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass cast both Fred Astaire and Keenan Wynn, together again, in SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN a very short time after completion of this film. The entire cast is great and Coppola cleverly worked the civil rights movement/prejudice into the story line. Tommy Steele plays OG the Leprechaun wonderfully. Petula Clark sings like an angel and Astaire dances diligently at a very late age (when he leaves his daughter at the end of the film, it will bring a tear to your eye). The DVD has the PREMIERE hosted by LEE PHILLIP from WBBM-TV in Chicago (I remember her well) and Coppola's commentary is very insightful. He made the film to impress his father and I am sure he was impressed!.
