A rather strange biographical video which really gets going at about 1min 30. (Skip the earlier bits)
The most interesting thing about the video is that it shows Django's two finger fretting style. He nearly lost his life after a dreadful fire swept through his home; however, he taught himself to play again with just two fingers on his left hand, arguably becoming the world's most influential swing guitarist.
I presume Stéphane Grappelli needs no introduction. This is a rare video of the great Django himself!
