In which the Mister and I go way back and he joins me in reviewing DIRTY DANCING (1987), which is available on Tubi and to buy/rent from Prime Video. The script is credited to Eleanor Bergstein and directed by Emile Ardolino. The film introduces us to Frances "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey) in the summer before college where she and her family are headed up for an extended stay at a Catskills camp. Here she meets and falls in love with the camp's dance instructor/cool guy, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). By the end of the film, no one is the same and Baby has had her eyes opened about the world around her. The film has a run time of 1 h and 40 m is rated PG-13. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
