Swing Fever
Swing Fever is a 1943 American musical comedy film directed by Tim Whelan. Kay Kyser plays an ambitious music composer, also gifted with a hypnotic "evil eye", who gets mixed up with promoting a boxer. The film also features Marilyn Maxwell, William Gargan, Nat Pendleton and Lena Horne. Amid the credited music and boxing-world cameos many other familiar faces can be glimpsed: Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Mike Mazurki, Mantan Moreland, and a young Ava Gardner.

gollark: Some classrooms have no/broken WiFi coverage for no apparent reason despite sometimes having access points *in them*, which is a problem since because something something COVID-19 teachers got laptops instead of using the NUCs in the classrooms.
gollark: Oh, and there seems to be an issue storing preferences so Edge will ask you to set it up again on every login.

gollark: The policy on using computers which people are meant to sign forbids you from "creating, running, downloading or [some other verb] executable files (programs)".
