MEDIA REACTS TO THEATRICAL RELEASE OF "SWING":

"Dazzling swing numbers are performed by pros."

Ruthe Stein
San Francisco Chronicle

"Spiffy choreography - SWING makes for some serious jump-jivin' fun. Sort of a swing movie marriage of a ghost-story meets 'It's a Wonderful Life' meets 'Xanadu' with equally good music….and a soundtrack that'll make even the dead tap their toes."

FilmThreat.com

"A Sexy Ghost Can Be a Great Dance Partner. A sweet, sincere labor of love. . . SWING drips with nostalgia for the 1940's."

New York Times

"If you just dig song-and-dance movies, there's a musical number every minute. The high energy dancing is choreographed by Cynthia Glinka."

Pacific Sun
Marin County CA

"... lush, follow-your-bliss romanticism."

LA Times

"SWING is uplifting, savvy, hip, sexy, smart, funny, wonderful. You leave the theater better than when you walked in ... wonderful story for men and women of all ages ... I cried three different times ... SWING has something for everyone."

Jan Wahl
San Francisco film critic
(SF Examiner, KRON TV and radio)

"'Twilight Zone' style fantasy ... boasting a fair amount of onscreen talent ... the ever beautiful Jacqueline Bisset ... Winters delivers an understated, moving performance that suggests that he has been underutilized in dramatic parts, while the luminous Bisset ... again demonstrates the reasons for her screen longevity."

Hollywood Reporter

"Jacqueline Bisset, still stunning at 59. Bisset's sheer expertise shines through ... as does Jonathan Winters."

NY Post

"Well-done love story centered around super swing dancing ... Nice dance scenes, music and lovely singing by Nell Carter."

Park City Film Music Festival

"Beautifully shot in San Francisco, SWING, with its positive message and exciting swing dance sequences, will move your feet as well as your heart!"
