Hellzapoppin is THE swing film ... the short swing sequence is a callsic because it features none other than the ledgendary Frankie Manning ... with his team. saw it once, from what I remember they dance to a track thats about 200 BPM! There is also an amazing airstep thrown in for good meansure ... a true Classic
Aside from the dancing Swing Kids is also a superb and deeply moving film. the opeening scene at the dance hall shows some great lindy.others ive not seen but have heard good things about are SWING KIDS and SWING with Lisa Stansfield in it
Swing is another good film with some good dance scenes ... you may well recognise some of the faces, many from the 100 club and a close up of the most famous bottom in the dance scene ... any guesses as to who's?
