I believe this 52 minute French documentary without narration but some great performances!!) has recently been re-uploaded to youtube by Serge Kottelat - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vanCLyTLB1E . Now waiting for someone to go through and report the sequence of players and tunes... hint... you will find "Minor Swing" performed by Stephane Grappelli / Marc Fosset / Babik Reinhardt, "I'll See You In My Dreams" in a bar (well known or not?), Babik plus a very young David (?) Reinhardt, Christian Escoudé, Biréli Lagrène and Marcel Azzola, Dorado Schmitt ...
