Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Swingtime in the Movies is a 1938 short film (20 minutes) directed by Crane Wilbur.Down on the Warner Brothers lot Nitvich the director is struggling with his latest production, a Western called The Texas Tornado. He has to fire his actress, who not only can't do the required southern accent but also speaks with a lisp. On a lunch break, Nitvitch and his assistant Sammy head over to the Warner Brothers cafeteria. There they run into lovely Joan Mason, an aspiring actress working as a waitress in the cafe, who as it happens has a southern accent.The highlight of the film is the scene in the Warner Brothers cafeteria featuring cameos from several stars of the day.

The Cameo: Humphrey Bogart, John Garfield, Priscilla and Rosemary Lane, Pat O'Brien, the Dead End Kids (called the "Crime School Kids" for some reason), George Brent, and Marie Wilson, are all seen in the studio cafeteria.

Funny Foreigner: Nitvich is high-strung and speaks with a thick accent and confuses his words, saying "loafers" instead of "lovers" and "souse" instead of "south", the latter leading his actresses to act drunk when he asks them to do the accent.

Alcohol Hic: In-Universe Joan does this when asked to demonstrate a "soused" accent. (Nitvitch the Funny Foreigner keeps confusing "souse" for "south".)
