Additional Information
This film adaptation of GREASE is the zippy smash hit translation from the Broadway musical tribute to the fabulous 1950s. As a new school year begins, wholesome Australian exchange student Sandy (pop star Olivia Newton-John) and duck-tailed, leather-jacket-clad Danny (John Travolta) parlay their summertime romance into an on-and-off attraction that may or may not cross clique lines. Sandy seriously cramps Danny's style, so he dumps her. In response, Sandy begins dating a wholesome athlete, but, as a hedge, she also joins the gum-chewin', tough-talkin' clique known as the Pink Ladies. The popular soundtrack includes 'You're the One That I Want', 'Hopelessly Devoted to You', 'Summer Nights', and the title tune.
Reviews
Premiere - ...It's a gum-snapping slice of cinema that's impossible to watch without smiling..., New York Times - ...A life that is all its own....Loaded with the kind of talent and exuberance you don't often find very far from a musical stage..., Variety - ...Zesty choreography and very excellent new plus revived music....Newton-John registers very impressively...
