“Nobody puts Baby in a corner!” Director Emile Ardolino followed the Oscar-winning 1983 documentary He Makes Me Feel Like Dancin’ with his first mainstream theatrical film, now celebrating its twentieth anniversary with a digitally restored 35mm print. Set at a Catskills summer resort in the early 1960s, yet whose most memorable songs are 1980s soft rock ballads, Dirty Dancing tells the story of an awkward upper-crust teenage girl (Jennifer Grey) who finds love, self-confidence, and perfect six-pack abs with her hunky, working-class dance instructor (Patrick Swayze). Broadway veterans Jerry Orbach, Kelly Bishop, and Lonny Price round out an uncommonly strong supporting cast. Choreography by Kenny Ortega (High School Musical) helped make Dirty Dancing a sleeper hit with audiences twenty years ago, and a cult favorite today.
