Director

Screenplay
Eleanor Bergstein
In the summer of 1963, young Frances 'Baby' Houseman resigns herself to a boring family vacation at a Catskills resort. Everything changes when she discovers the forbidden world of the entertainers and falls in love with Johnny Castle, the attractive, humble dance instructor at the hotel. When she offers to fill in for his stage partner, the two rehearse in secret and a growing passion draws them together, despite the barriers of class and her father's disapproval. An eighties romance turned cultural phenomenon, with magnetic dance numbers and an unforgettable soundtrack.
