| | DVD Review: Dirty Dancing |
 | | Set in the very early Sixties, Jennifer Grey stars as a guest with her parents in a resort hotel who learns that the staff likes to unwind after hours by moving rather uninhibitedly to the latest pop songs, and Patrick Swayze is the most accomplished dancer, who ends up training her to be his partner. |
 | | The film’s director, Emile Ardolino, who won an Oscar for a documentary about dance and who directed several other wonderful films, including the outstanding Gypsy remake, before dying all too young in 1993, is the subject of a 13-minute tribute on the second platter. |
 | | Finally, the entire 1988 live program, Dirty Dancing in Concert, has also been included, not only for its entertainment value, which is modest, but to reinforce the memory of what a phenomena Dirty Dancing was when it did its fast heel split into the popular culture. |
