@vanhalenfreak Thans for the info. They used some kind of a device with the film to make it look old, look older than it actually is. The same concept Orson Welles used in producing his 1941 masterpiece CITIZEN KANE in a scene where his charater Charles Foster Kane was found waving to the public on a train with an actor playing president Teddy Roosevelt.
oh yay! I was there, I remember this, it was on the USS Hornet. I miss them coming to the dances. They were definitely a highlight. Everyone misses them. Can't they come back?! (for free :D)
Cool how they made it seem older than it is! LOVE IT!!!!

Nice clip, but way too short.

The Jitterbug was a dance from the 1940s. But the music in this skit is more like the 1950s.

@67nairb The song is from the early 1980's. Though your confusion in thinking it was made it the 1950's is understandable.

@sgmarshall The recording sounded like like Elvis Presley.

The gal closest to the camera has fabulous '40s style! It makes me glad when swing dancers have the style of the era the dance was popular in!

I have a feeling this is a modern video, edited to look like an old video. Perhaps the audio is slightly desynced?
