Jimmy O'Shea is an out of favour swing dancer who turns up at a local shindig despite being warned off by the gangster-types who control the dance halls for the big boss.
The gangsters want to keep Jimmy away from the Big Boss's minxy daughter, Betty Sullivan.
But Jimmy is a man with a plan - and a great pair of dancing shoes!
He Sure Can Swing is a fun little film shot in a polished noir style. The sinister overtones draw you right in and there's some great moves on display by the swing dancers.
Director Tim Logan is now one of the state's most well-known comedians and has helped reinvigorate the local comedy scene by initiating a variety of regular events, while many other participants in the film have gone on to be major contributors to the Tasmanian independent film industry.
Nice work guys!
