This classic story of two people from different walks of life who find love one summer has been a beloved movie for the past twenty years. Johnny and Baby (Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey) meet at Kellerman's summer resort in the Catskills. He is a dance instructor and she is an idealistic rich girl who is off to an Ivy League college in the fall. That summer changed both their lives.

This film spans generations as all ages have taken the story to their hearts. The story takes place in the summer of 1963, just before President Kennedy was assassinated and before the country as wrought with sorrow. This summer was the last time we were young and innocent.

The attraction between Johnny and Baby is strong, and during their fateful summer together they each learn an important lesson. He learns that someone can really care for and about him. And she learns how to love - and dance.

The soundtrack helped make the popularity of the film with catchy tunes we all know and have heard often during the past two decades.

The DVD contains a commentary track and an optional trivia track, where viewers see pop-up bits of information about the actors and the movie while the show is playing.

The second disc in this edition contains many bonus features, among which are an interview with Patrick Swayze as he looks back on the movie and his relationship with his character Johnny Castle, and an interview with Jennifer Grey who discusses making the film. There are alternate, extended, and deleted scenes, a very short outtake reel, a photo gallery, several music videos, and a beautiful tribute to the long and varied career of the late Jerry Orbach, who played Baby's dad in the movie. There is also a look at how they adapted the movie to a stage play.

This is a film that appeals to all generations and can be seen over and over and over again.
