Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, including Norma Miller and Dorothy Dandridge. The best swing dance scene ever. From The Marx Brother's 'A Day at the Races'. (1937)

I've read that "The scene has no clear association with the larger narrative film so as to simplify editing the scene from the film for release in the southern American states under racist censorship laws." Not surprisingly very few (dancers, singers) were credited in the movie. The Marx Brothers are dancing in Black Face at the end and it is nausiating to watch.
