The summary
A teenage girl learns about love, adult responsibility, and how to do The Dirty Boogie in this romantic drama. In 1963, Baby Houseman (Jennifer Grey) is a 17-year-old spending the summer with her family at a resort hotel in the Catskills; she plans on being in the Peace Corps next summer, so this is expected to be her last summer as a carefree adolescent. However, Baby doesn't get along with her older sister Lisa (Jane Brucker), and she's bored to tears by most of the older guests at the resort. However, one night Baby hears what sounds like a party going on in the employee's dormitory, and she pokes her head in to discover most of the hotel staff enjoying the sort of close dancing that would get you kicked out of the Senior Prom in no time flat. Baby is particularly struck by handsome Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), a dancer in the resort's floor show, and falls head over heels in love, wanting to be near him. When Johnny's dance partner finds herself pregnant after a fling with one of the waiters, Baby volunteers to learn her steps and take her place; however, Baby's father Dr. Jake Houseman (Jerry Orbach) will have none of it, convinced that Johnny is a low life and that his
daughter is too young to understand her own feelings. Dirty Dancing was a surprise box office hit, and the soundtrack album was an even bigger success, spawning several hit singles and inspiring a top-drawing concert tour features several of its artists

Pannen
Revealing mistakes: You can see 'Jennifer Grey' 's body stocking during the first sex scene.
Continuity: Johnny gets his pants dirty by sliding across the floor, yet they are clean in the next shot.
Continuity: Johnny puts his records back twice after talking to Neil.
Crew or equipment visible: Sound operator holding a boom microphone, when Johnny teaches Baby about balance by dancing on a log.
Continuity: Johnny takes his jacket off twice just before the last dance of the season.
Continuity: When Johnny is teaching Baby to dance, Penny puts the needle on the record and then immediately takes it off but the music plays anyway.
Continuity: In the last dance scene, when Johnny jumps off the stage and goes to the back of the auditorium to get the other "dirty dancers" his hair is alternately wet/dry between shots.
Continuity: Baby and Lisa are shown getting ready for the last party, and Baby is putting on stockings that would need garters to stay up. In the dance scenes she has no stockings or garters visible.
Continuity: When Johnny jumps off the porch to fight the guy who's been taunting him, his belt buckle is open. Then, when he lands on the ground and starts fighting, his belt is buckled again.
Continuity: When Johnny first breaks the window on his car, the hole is almost perfectly round. In the later shots, it is considerably bigger.
Revealing mistakes: After dancing the mambo at the other hotel and Johnny and Baby are in the car to go back to Kellerman's, in the side windows in the car you can notice that trees outside are going in the opposite direction the car is moving. The car is heading towards the viewer, but the trees are moving as though the car should be heading away from the screen.
Continuity: When Johnny locks his keys in his car during a torrential rain, you can see the sun reflected shining brightly in the rear window of the car. You can also see that the ground beside the post he picks up is dry and sunlit.
Continuity: When Baby is talking to her father as he sits on the porch, his jacket collar repeatedly swaps between being down and up between shots.
Continuity: When Baby is getting dressed for the talent contest, she clearly puts on stockings. When she dances the with Johnny in the final dance, no suspenders or stocking-tops are visible even though her skirt flies up way over her waist.

Songtext
(I've Had) The Time of My Life
Now I've had the time of my life No I never felt like this before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I've had the time of my life And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long Now I've finally found someone To stand by me We saw the writing on the wall As we felt this magical Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes There's no way we could disguise it Secretly So we take each other's hand 'Cause we seem to understand The urgency Just remember
You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love because
I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you

Hey, baby
With my body and soul I want you more than you'll ever know So we'll just let it go Don't be afraid to lose control, no Yes I know what's on your mind When you say, "Stay with me tonight" Just remember
You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love because
I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you
But I've had the time of my life And I've searched though every open door Till I found the truth And I owe it all to you

(SOLO)
Now I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you
I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you
'Couse I've had the time of my life And I've searched though every open door Till I found the truth And I owe it all to you...
The Ronettes

I'll make you happy, baby Just wait and see For every kiss you give me I'll give you three Oh, since the day I saw you I have been waiting for you You know I will adore you Till eternity So won't you please
(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby (I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling (Be my be my baby) Be my baby now (I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Hungry Eyes
I've been meaning to tell you I've got this feelin' that won't subside I look at you and I fantasize You're mine tonight Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes One look at you and I can't disguise I've got hungry eyes I feel the magic between you and I
I wanna hold you so hear me out I wanna show you what love's all about Darlin' tonight Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes One look at you and I can't disguise I've got hungry eyes I feel the magic between you and I I've got hungry eyes Now I've got you in my sights With those hungry eyes Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see This love was meant to be

(SOLO)
I've got hungry eyes One look at you and I can't disguise I've got hungry eyes I feel the magic between you and I I've got hungry eyes Now I've got you in my sights With those hungry eyes Now did I take you by surprise With my hungry eyes I need... Hungry eyes Now I've got you in my sights With my hungry eyes
