Boy! What A Girl

-- Synopsis: Tim Moore (Kingfish on TV's "Amos 'n' Andy") as a female impersonator who is hired by two smooth-talking producers to pose as a financial backer for their fledgling revue. But when their scheme backfires, Moore is forced to show off his cross-dressing skills on the Great White Way. Madness and mayhem mix with jam sessions at a Harlem roof party where legendary drummer Gene Krupa performs a surprise drum solo.

* The dancing takes place in a living room, much like a rent party. The International Jitterbugs, aka: Harlemaniacs, aka: Whitey's Lindy Hoppers appear in this film dancing their famous Lindy Hop. These dancers are not the usual Whitey's Lindy Hoppers. First dancer might be Shorty George Snowden (looks alot like him.) There are alot of fast and good tricks (Air Steps) in this video as well as some very good swing-outs plus some Partner Charleston.
