Featured review
Not only fun, the music is grand!
It's hard NOT to like "Swing Banditry" and the only reason might be because you hate Swing music...though it's hard to imagine anyone hating these zippy tunes!
When the story begins, the head of a radio station hops onto the elevator to go to work...and the elevator operator is tossed out and the band waiting inside begin to play their hearts out. The old man agrees that he likes the music...but cannot help as he's NOT the head of the station. When the band finds out that he lied, they set out to prove they ARE good enough to be on radio. But the old man is sneaky and calls the cops to arrest them for kidnapping. Can they STILL manage to outfox him?
The Georgie Stoll Orchestra plays some dandy songs, such as "My Blue Heaven" and the overall effect is much better than normal for a music video of the day...which is what this essentially is.
