Dirty
Dancing (1987)
Frances,
a.k.a. "Baby," Houseman (Jennifer Grey) is an idealistic Jewish
teenager vacationing with her wealthy family at Kellerman's, a fictional
resort in the Catskill Mountains of New York in the summer of 1963. One
evening, stirring music draws her to the staff quarters, where "dirty
dancing" is all the rage. Here she meets Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze),
a gentile dance instructor, who is as experienced as she is naive. Baby
soon becomes Johnny's pupil in dance and in love. But the two are from
different worlds, and Baby's gruff father (Jerry Orbach) disapproves.
As the summer winds down, Johnny and Baby must come to grips with responsibility
and love and other's expectations... |
