Swing (2003)

The last appearance of Nell Carter -- and vintage Jonathan Winters

This sweet little movie brings together a variety of talented performers in unusual roles; Jonathan Winters is here ad libbing with his usual genius, the beautiful Jacqueline Bisset not only captivates as the Muse who introduces a young man to Swing and teaches him to follow his bliss, she is riveting as an much older version of this character -- a woman whose body can no longer dance to the music she is still hearing in her head. A very touching performance. Barry Bostwick does a lovely turn as the Muse's dance partner. And the final gift is a song over the credits by the incomparable Nell Carter, who plays a sassy nurse. This movie is for people who love Swing and want to be reminded of a kinder, gentler era, where "follow your dreams" meant simply listening to your heart.
Recommended for boomers, kids who love retro, dancers, and those who want to reminisce. April 26, 2007

Pure drek

This film missed the boat in so many ways. I will grant you that the sets are good, BUT the acting (a few exceptions), the directing, the scripting and the editing are uniformly baaaaaaaaad. Tom Skerrit and Mindy Cohn did the most with the little they were given, Jacqueline Bisset (Christine/Mrs. DeLuca), unfortunately, did not. The young leads lack the skills to do anything with their material. The whole film was much like watching 8 year olds putting on a play and thinking up their dialog as they went along. Bad.
