Movie Review: Celebrating 30 Years of Dirty Dancing
“It’s nothing, Marjorie, go back to sleep.” As I watched Dirty Dancing for the first time in several years, this seemingly throwaway line from Jerry Orbach to Kelly Bishop, as the parents of Jennifer Grey’s Frances “Baby” Houseman, struck me. Orbach's Jake, a wealthy doctor, has just returned to his bungalow at this Catskills Hotel after having given treatment to Cynthia Rhodes’ Penny who has just undergone what at the time was referred to as a back-alley abortion. This was after she’d been knocked up by Robbie, a selfish snob doing time to raise money he doesn’t need for his Ivy League education.

For half a year No TV in the house For half a year And we're still getting used to it To watch what we want Whenever we want, how much we want

In a box… my world’s troubles melt away In a box… dreams once shattered are rebuilt In a box hurts once felt are washed away
