What a great American classic. Swing Time is considered one of the best musicals ever and is part of the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The story is sweet and cheerful and captures a time and place--1930s New York City. It has witty dialogue, a few hilarious moments, incredible and captivating dances, and beautiful songs. What's not to like?
