| Description: | CINETOPICALITIES IN BRIEF (NO. 16) Jitterbugs swing out at a musicians benefit concert. At a swing benefit for the musicians' hospital in the United States we see young people (African-American and white) enjoying a marathon concert of 25 bands playing in a sports stadium (daylight). Great shots of people dancing in the stands and on the grass; seated spectators bouncing around in their seats to the music; a sound technician moves to the beat and makes 'pecking' motions with his head; a cameraman jigs about while filming; brief shots of the musicians. Good shots of African American and white couples doing the lindy-hop / jitterbug/ jiving; C/U of bobby-soxer feet tapping to the music. | |
