Screenwriting : Gene Kelly and "Jitterbug!" by DC Copeland

DC Copeland

Gene Kelly and "Jitterbug!"

His iconic street lamp scene inspired a reimagination of it through my Harlem hero who jumps up onto a streetlamp-- doesn't sing--sans rain and umbrella-- and uses it as part of his expression of love to his sweetheart through dance. Unlike Kelly, when he leaps off, he lands in a Nicholas Bros split, snaps back up--no hands!-- and tap dances in the pool of light.
