The AZLHS (Arizona Lindy Hop Society)has put up some video clips on their web-site.
They've got clips from the following movies:
"Day At The Races" (Whitey's Lindy Hoppers)
"Hellzapoppin'" (Whitey's w/Frankie & Al)
"Groovie Movie"
"Undecided" (Dean Collins)
"The Jazz Age" (documentary)
"The Cats Joined In" (cartoon)
These aren't dinky little clips either, they're pretty much close to the entire dance sequence as in Hellzapoppin's case. The video clips are in AVI format so you should be able to watch them using your windows media viewer (in your accessories group). But you will have to download the video compressor at the top of the page before you can view any of the movies. These files are huge. I suggest start downloading either right before you leave work or got to bed. The picture resolution is not bad as long as you keep the picture small. And I don't know about the sound 'cause my machine here at work has no sound card. Someone download it and tell me if it's got the sound as well.
Here's the link:
