As a kid all of this was over my head, but watching it now.... ((Ivan Reitman)) wrote it, clearly influenced by Jewish summer camps. The camp director is named Morty Melenek or something, and during the parent drop off scenes, all the kids are named Marshall and Bradley and all the parents look jewish.

But once the movie gets going, it focuses on blonde chicks and Bill Murray and obviously non-jewish people.

i mean, i know about jewish summer camps and how big a role they play in jewish kid culture.

But as a kid watching the movie I didnt pick up on that, because i didnt know any jewish people. Watching it now, that becomes obvious as a frame for the movie, but once the movie gets going all the main characters are clearly non-jews who would not be at that camp.

jews used to be properly deferential to WASP/Anglo America. they always made movies about clean-cut towheaded all-Americans. Spielberg would never have dreamed of casting a bunch of jews in ET or Goonies.

but times have changed.

Caddyshack was based on the experiences of a bunch of jews at a country club, but Harold Ramis whitewashed the story by making everyone 'Irish'.
