Jazz Dance (1954)

"Jazz Dance" is a 1954 Documentary movie directed by Roger Tilton and starring by Jimmy McPartland, Pee Wee Russell. Few films wield the awesome spiritual power of Jazz Dance, on which Leacock was one of two cameramen charting the slow, smoldering build of a Manhattan dance club from idle space to explosive, carnal bacchanal. Employing handheld cameras, limited light and sheer proximity, the film achieved an intimacy never before witnessed in a documentary.
