Streamlined Swing is a 1938 music short film directed by Louis Lewyn. It features a story about African-American waiters on a railway who set up a diner on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles and use their singing to attract customers.
Streamlined Swing exists in somewhat of a liminal space among collectors; it's not widely available, which adds to its allure. The scarcity of prints and lack of comprehensive documentation means that finding a decent copy can be quite the hunt. There’s a growing interest in films from this era focusing on African-American narratives, and Streamlined Swing, while lesser-known, fits neatly within that niche, making it a fascinating find for those focused on film history.
