Lex Gillespie, Director

Evoking the golden era of the Borscht Belt, this nostalgic film showcases the humor, heritage, and spirit of the iconic Catskills summer resorts, famed for lavish buffets and nightclubs that fostered rising talent. Featuring anecdotes from performers and resort guests, stand-up comedians share their best shtick while former waiters, entertainers, and dance instructors recount tales of the resorts that inspired Dirty Dancing and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
