  Swing Kids (1993)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
This movie was in no small measure part of the impetus for the swing revival in the mid 90's, and I personally get "in the mood" for a night of cuttin' rug with Janis Siegel's incredible rendition of "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon" from the film.
Swing Kids is almost alone in its portrayal of this chilling truth among Holocaust and World War II films.

  Swing Kids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Swing Kids (German: Swingjugend) were a group of jazz and Swing lovers in the Germany of the 1930s, mainly in Hamburg (St. Pauli) and Berlin.
The Swing kids were initially basically apolitical, similar to the youthful rebellion in the history of rock and roll.
Swing was tolerated to some degree at least until 1940, when a Swing festival, held in Hamburg, attracted over 500 youths.

 "Swing Kids"
Even the Swing Kids in the movie recognize the vital nature of soloists, for they sit about their club endlessly debating whether or not Tommy Dorsey plays "hot" or "sweet" the same way a sports fan would analyze every last statistic of the quarterback of his favorite football team.
The Swing of this record is largely a series of loud beats, flashy ensemble lines, and an overpowering musical blanket designed to invigorate dancers, and only fast dancers, at that, since not a single slow or even medium-tempo song has been chosen for re-recording.
Swing, according to "Swing Kids," is a sort of Techno for the '40s: not a musical art form, but a heavily accented, sped up, and across-the-board forte, not an instrument of expression, but an agent of fun, allowing its listeners to cut loose and dance as joyfully and excitedly as they wish.

 Swing-Kids
Swing Kids of Frankfurt liked to dress in “zoot-suiter“ style, complete with zooter coats, trousers that narrowed close about the ankle (for fast getaways on bikes), and a long key chain suspended from the hip almost to the ground that was emblematic of zooties worldwide.
But the truth that Swing Kids indulged in anti-societal behavior, such as thievery and perhaps thuggery, must not be overlooked in appraising their conduct as a resistance movement to the Reich regime.
Swing, with its unrestrained zeal and lust for physical exertion, seemed to be either a manifestation of serious mental illness or downright primitive Negroid hysteria.

 Amazon.com: Swing Kids: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Music: James Horner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
SWING KIDS is a fine but obscure movie about young nonconformists in prewar Nazi Germany who rebel against their authoritarian society by indulging in Swing music and dance clubs.

 Review: Swing Kids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Swing Kids has a multitude of problems, the most glaring of which is its loose treatment of history and the Nazis.
While it's undeniable that members of the Hitler Youth and the Gestapo were goons, Swing Kids portrays them as such in a cartoonish manner.
Actually, the most appealing part of Swing Kids is when the end credits finally roll and we are no longer subjected to Hollywood's diluted concept of what constitutes a "powerful" film.

 Filmtracks: Swing Kids (James Horner)
Swing Kids: (James Horner) Few people know that during the height of Hitler's reign in Germany, there was a loyal and popular following of American jazz music.
Where Swing Kids utterly fails as a movie is in its treatment of everything outside of the jazz itself.
When the kids are forced to either enlist in the army or be sent to concentration camps, their reactions aren't really clear, for in their jazz-centered view on life, they seem to have no feelings whatsoever for the Jews.

But even better than the figure itself -- which was joined by Sgt. Storm, Doug Davis, and Jeff Long in the ensuing years (wearing red, yellow, and blue spacesuits respectively) -- were the amazing accessories and motorized vehicles that supported these figures and increased their play-value considerably.
