Somewhat Secret (1939)
Balboa! Jitterbug! 21 minutes of loopy fun

"Somewhat Secret" is a hoot, imagine "Rock and Roll High School" set in 1939 and you'll have the right idea: bad schoolgirls who just want to dance are held back by their stuffy, repressed principal! The schoolmarm makes many hilarious melodramatic pronouncements against the evils of swing music and jitterbug, forbidding her schoolgirls to dance, all the while falling in love with the man she believes to be a stuffy chemistry professor -- but who is actually a swing bandleader in hiding. A cute filler well worth seeking out on cable. The final dance number features plenty of down & dirty jitterbug as well some authentic period balboa. Silly movie -- swell dancing.
