A great clip from the film Malcolm X starring Denzel Washington. Look for Frankie Manning in this clip. He was the choreographer and taught Denzel how to Lindy. This dance scene is held at what was to be a re-creation of Roseland Ballroom in New York but Malcolm X danced mostly at the Savoy Ballroom, the birthplace of Lindy. The civil rights leader, Malcolm X, wrote in his autobiography how much he loved the lindy hop.

Denzel is amazing! And Spike Lee is a wonderful director. I like what he did in most of Love and Basketball. Wish he'd allow women (and men) to be wholesome in his films. We need more of them -- not fewer. The quote he used in the movie is spot on. People want purity.

Would a Boston nightclub in the 1940's have really been like this, or is this a deliberately campy wink at MGM musicals and Warner Brothers Censored 11 cartoons? I mean someone without their glasses on would be forgiven for mistaking this for an actual cartoon.

"Flying Home" by Lionel Hampton. The vers in the film was recorded for it, the orig vers is on the soundtrack album. Great disc, pick it up, worth the money!

Saw Spike Lee speak at my college & he told us that Denzel learned how to jitterbug & did his own dancing in here. Pretty damn impressive!
