Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights Was Originally a Political Movie

The script for the unpopular Dirty Dancing sequel that was released in 2004 was originally a political romance. Written by NPR’s Peter Sagal, the original script was called Cuba Mineand told the story of the romance between a Cuban revolutionary and an American teen in the 1950s.
