Does the Jazz Lead to Destruction? is a 1919 Australian silent film about the jazz craze. It is considered a lost film.

A family of wowsers, the McWowses, oppose jazz dancing but are converted to its joys.[1] Several dances are featured, including 'the Walking Waltz', 'the Jazz', 'the Tickle-Toe' and the 'Whirly Whirly'. These were performed by the leads.[2][3]

Production

Ethel Bennetto and George Irving were both dancers from Sydney who performed the dances in the film.[4]
