Since I made the re-edited version of the Hellzapoppin’ dance scene – the greatest swing dance scene ever to grace the cinema screen, Atilio Menéndez has found, and generously made available, an incredible high definition version of the scene – and it looks absolutely beautiful. The frame rate is better too, which means it feels far smoother, as well as looking far more detailed.
Of course – it probably goes without saying that I had to repeat the rephrasing exercise. I quickly realised that there were places I could improve on what I’d done last time – and I hope I’ve done it better justice than before.
I’ve also added a full set of credits to the end – I really regret not doing this last time, as the incredible artists in this scene deserve more than some credits on a YouTube description.
So many thanks to Atilio Menéndez for finding and sharing this amazing version, and to the incredible DJ Stephan Wuthe for identifying all the musicians that I didn’t know.
Enough talking. Enjoy the show.
