I carried a watermelon : Dirty dancing and me / Katy Brand. by Brand, Katy, 1979- author. London : HQ, 2021. Subjects Brand, Katy, 1979- -- Anecdotes.   Dirty dancing (Motion picture)   Coming-of-age films -- History and criticism.   Comedians -- Great Britain -- Anecdotes. ISBN:  9780008352820 (paperback) : 0008352828 (paperback) Description:  250 pages ; 20 cm. Edition:  Third edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  I Carried a Watermelon is a love letter to Dirty Dancing. A warm, witty and accessible look at how Katy Brand's life-long obsession with the film has influenced her own attitudes to sex, love, romance, rights and responsibilities. It explores the legacy of the film, from pushing women's stories to the forefront of commercial cinema, to its 'Gold Standard' depiction of abortion according to leading pro-choice campaigners, and its fresh and powerful take on the classic 'coming of age' story told from a naïve but idealistic 17-year-old girl's point of view. Part memoir based on a personal obsession, part homage to a monster hit and a work of genius, Katy will explore her own memories and experiences, and talk to other fans of the film, to examine its legacy as a piece of filmmaking with a social agenda that many miss on first viewing. One of the most celebrated and viewed films ever made is about to have the time of its life.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.4372 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4372 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList
