Review
GREASE (1978) **** John Travolta Olivia NewtonJohn Jeff Conaway Stockard Channing Dinah Manoff Eve Arden Sid Caesar Edd Kookie Byrnes ShaNaNa Frankie Avalon Joan Blondell Ellen Travolta Eddie Deezen Lorenzo Lamas. One of the best Broadway musicals ever adapted for the big screen largely thanks to producer Allan Carr and director Randal Kleiser set at Rydell High circa 1950s with Travolta (in his other iconic role) as leather jacket wearing hunky hood with a heartofgold Danny Zuko recalling his Summer Nights with Aussie sexpot NewtonJohn (in her sunny to sultry iconic turn) as goodygoody Sandy who learns some things from The Pink Ladies tough yet tender leader Rizzo (Channing ditto). Good old fashioned knuckleheaded comedy and toetapping tunes that will have you dancing and singing along to Greased Lightning (imagine Elvis doing this!) the dance contests hyperpaced Hand Jive sequence and the closer We Go Together. Title tune by Franki Valli. A film Ive seen probably a hundred times and never tire of.
