Swing Fever is a 1943 American musical comedy film. Kay Kyser plays an ambitious music composer, also gifted with a hypnotic "evil eye", who gets mixed up with promoting a boxer. The film features Marilyn Maxwell, William Gargan, Nat Pendleton and Lena Horne, and was directed by Tim Whelan. Amid the credited music and boxing-world cameos many other familiar faces can be glimpsed: Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Mike Mazurki, Mantan Moreland, and a young Ava Gardner.
