DVD Review

"Nobody puts Baby in the corner!" Part nostalgia, part sexy dance film, and all ugly-duckling romance, the hit date film of 1987 stars Patrick Swayze as a working-class guy who teaches dance at a Catskills resort in the early 1960s. Jennifer Grey is Baby, the younger sister in an affluent family who, always in her sister's shadow, discovers the naughty allure of dirty dancing when she hangs with the help at the resort and falls for a streetwise older instructor who has a passion for dance that softens his tough exterior. Let the dance of star-crossed romance begin. Though previously released in multiple special editions with commentary, cast and crew interviews and featurettes, this new two-disc anniversary edition features a new filmed interview with Patrick Swayze (his first-ever participation in any DVD release of the film), deleted and alternate scenes and a tribute to Jerry Orbach. Also available in Blu-ray format with a second commentary track and a trivia track not included on this DVD release but both previously available on earlier DVD editions.
