A unique gem of Francis Ford Coppola's filmography, FINIAN'S RAINBOW ('68) follows an Irishman who steals a pot of gold from a leprechaun, and stars Fred Astaire in his last screen musical. Despite being considered a box office flop, as luck would have it – Coppola's risk on hiring an unknown film student by the name of George Lucas would form the foundation for their lifelong friendship. See it today at 5:30pm ET as we celebrate #StPatricksDay. | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
