Here's the movie that made a nation swoon with fantasies that any woman, given a suitably hunky instructor (like Patrick Swayze), could learn to mambo like a pro. And that said hunky dance instructor would naturally fall for you if you were plucky enough, even if you looked like mousy, pre-rhinoplasty Jennifer Grey. As suggested by the title and the bump-and-grind moves of the after-hours dancers, it seemed there was a dirtier movie inside struggling to get out, but really, this tale of star-crossed romance at a Catskills resort in 1963 was a sweet, largely innocent throwback, the Grease of the '80s.
