Review of American Swing (2009) by Billy P — 21 Mar 2010
This is not a hard hitting documentary about the swinging scene in the 70's. It's looking back through rose tinted glasses.There lots of slightly over weight guys with handle bar mustaches and ladies with faces like chewed toffees.
You don't really see any action and some of the talking heads seemed a bit prudish and embarrassed . One funny story about crabs and not one mention about Gonorrhea , Syphilis and unwanted pregnancies.
I'm not moralizing here because I have lived a life but if your going to tell a story tell it warts and all (no pun intended).
