This classic movie was principally filmed at Mountain Lake Lodge in Giles County in 1986-87.
In 1963, Frances "Baby" Houseman, a sweet daddy's girl, goes with her family to a resort in upstate New York's Catskill Mountains. Baby has grown up in privileged surroundings and all expect her to go on to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, just like her father. Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny Castle, a man whose background is vastly different from her own.
The film is rated PG-13. The film stars Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.
