This is a real treat indeed. James Barton is one of my all-time favorite character actors. I wasn't aware until recently of his wide ranging scope of talents. His available viewable output is relatively meager but always immensely entertaining. Thanks so much for this!
The dancing is incredible. I always knew the Lindy Hop from the late 1930s-1940s but didn't know it had it's roots (as everything does) in black culture. The two listed cast members are incredible dancers as are all the folks. Thanks for this post.

Somebody please chime in on the name/artist of this dance tune?
Chick Webbs orchestra, Sweet sue
I mean, he’s a good dancer, but you know he’s white. Doesn’t look true.
