    To say that Grease is an iconic movie is an understatement. Last year was the 45th Anniversary of the release of this film. For John Travolta, this was his big follow-up from his role of Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever (1977). Sadly, in 2022, we lost Olivia Newton-John; after a long battle with breast cancer. Part of the legacy of this movie musical is its ability to connect with new generations of fans through the songs. “Summer Nights”, “Hopelessly Devoted to You”, and “You’re The One That I Want” were top 10 hits on the soundtrack album. And many karaoke bars are known to play “Summer Nights” but it’s an adult x-rated version.

    Writing love letters (on nice paper with colorful pens) was one of the more romantic aspects of young love during previous eras. I was a teen in the 1980s and my first long-term girlfriend lived in another town, so I only saw her on weekends, not at school. None the less, I wrote letters, multiple pages daily, and sent them daily. My girlfriend did the same. It was like that for the first year we were together until I finally got my driver's license. Even after we were able to see each other more often, the letters continued until the relationship eventually ended.

    WHEN TAPING the bedroom scene, they changed the Lyrics to "Look at me (I'm Sandra Dee)". It had a verse about Sal Mineo, but changed it to "Elvis, Elvis, Let me be" because Elvis had died the Day Before.
    People made fun of the fact that all the "Teen" Pink Ladies", "T-Birds" and Even Olivia Newton John were in their Mid to late 20's, And Rizzo (Stockard Channing) was the oldest, at 32 years old During Filming.
    "Greased Lightning" was SUPPOSED to be Sung by Jeff Conaway, But John Travolta Demanded he get to sing it. It didn't make sense as the car wasn't his, but it was either let him sing it or he would quit.

      That trivia about Elvis is false. An urban legend. It's true in the original lyrics the name of Sal Mineo was used. He was still alive in 1972 when the Broadway production debuted, but died the year before filming of the movie had started. So, they replaced his name with Elvis' in the lyrics.
      However, the look at me, I'm sandra dee number was filmed before Elvis had died. Not afterwards. According to actress Susan Buckner, who played Patty Simcox in the movie, they were filming the beauty school dropout number on the day Elvis died.
      Since the Sandra dee number was filmed and finished before Elvis died, they couldn't change it again afterwards because they just didn't have the luxury of time and money to go back and reshoot the number.

    "Summer Lovin'" is absolutely *full* of innuendo. The ring thing... in the USA, it's tradition (at least back then and up through the 80s if not even now) for high school students (both girls and guys) to get a "class ring" that has their graduation year on it and some other symbols. Also, it's tradition for girls who are dating guys who wear the guy's class ring either on a necklace or using little cushion things to fit on the finger if they need to. So you'll see the girls wearing the guy's ring and when they break up, she gives the ring back. It's not like an engagement ring or a "promise ring" but it's a symbol of a relationship. Sometimes the guy will wear the girl's ring on a necklace. I wore my girlfriend's ring on my little finger (it was a tight fit and difficult to get off) and she wore mine with some of those cushions on her pointing finger.

    4:25 - "If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter." This is a double-entendre, because it's one thing to be a supporter of the athletes by cheering from the stands, but an "athletic supporter" is another name for a "jock strap" or "cup."

    Three of the actors did the stage version of Grease, and only one of those played the same role on the stage:
    - John Travolta originally played Doody (the funny one who says Frenchie looks like a pineapple) in a touring company of the musical, and when he starts singing while dancing with Sandy at the big dance, the song he sings to is "Those Magic Changes" which Doody sings in the show.
    - Jeff Conaway originally played Danny during the Broadway run as a replacement cast after the show had been open for a while, and the original actor moved on. He and Travolta did know each other because Conaway later did the tour as well. Originally, Conaway should have sung "Greased Lightning" as it is Kenickie's song in the show, but Travolta had the power to take the song for himself and did.
    - Jamie Donnelly reprised her role as Jan from the original Broadway cast, the only one to do so. She was the one who was always eating. She was the second oldest cast member at 31, and her hair was already going gray before filming.
    Olivia Newton-John was already a huge music star in both rock and country genres when John Travolta suggested her for the role of Sandy. She had acted in a few things before. Grease would be her only hit film. Her follow-up film was a box office bomb called Xanadu which had tremendous success with its soundtrack album filled with songs sung by Olivia and songs written and performed by Electric Light Orchestra, including the title song "Xanadu" which brought Olivia and ELO together. Olivia died in 2022 after a thirty-year battle with cancer, getting it and beating it several times, all the while creating ways of advocacy, producing music, touring, occasionally turning up in movies in small roles, and doing other ventures.
    There are several songs written for the movie but not in the stage version: "Hopelessly Devoted To You" and "You're the One That I Want" both written by John Farrar, who wrote most of Olivia's songs during this period in her career. The title song "Grease" was sung by Frankie Valli and written by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees. Many stage productions now try to incorporate the songs by Farrar.

      During a Taxi cast interview, Conaway remarked that he "used to squeeze Marilou's boob every night".😂

    • @TSIRKLAND
      @TSIRKLAND 2 місяці тому

      The original stage version was even more raw and mature than the film version! The original was written by some guys who grew up in Chicago in the '50s, based on their own Taft High School experience as "greasers"- embellished with other stories from friends or classmates. The broadway version of the stage musical tamed a few elements from the original. When making the film version, they tamed it even more - and changed the setting from Chicago to California, to take advantage of the CA sunshine and Hollywood. A few years back, (2011) I had the opportunity to see a re-mounting of the original production, here in Chicago. A new, younger cast, of course- but a couple of the original cast made appearances as teachers and older adult characters- so it really was full circle.
      So if you think this version has some mature themes (which it does!), just imagine what two or three levels of corporate sterilization did to it, and what the original might have been!

The principal is played by Eve Arden, who in the fifties had starred as a teacher in the sitcom Our Miss Brooks.

    I was 6 or 7 when I first saw this, as my family was going to Universal Studios(when there was only Hollywood) for the day, back when the tour, stunt & FX shows was all they had, no rides. Well something happened, I think we missed the last tour tram for the day, so instead of going to Universal, I got took to see this(talk about a gut punch).
    When your that young, a musical instead of an amusement park(even though not much amusement back then), was still a bitter pill to swallow. But I was a changed man(boy)that day, as I'm 52 now and still love this movie, as this is one of few musicals I ever enjoyed. I had such a huge crush on Olivia after watching this film, I had my Aunt take me and my sister to see Xanadu a few years later. Not the best film, but for a pre pubescent boy with a crush, it was an amazing movie at the time. LOL

    At the time Grease came out in the theaters in 1978, I was 9 years old and being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional household. As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of TV and went to the movies as a way of providing myself with escape and comfort from my misery.
    Back then I was going to the movies with my then best friend. We were a couple of fanatics about the movies. We talked, read, ate, drank, and slept the movies. And we went to the movies together once a week, every week for a lot of years from the 1970s-1980s. We saw literally hundreds upon hundreds of movies together over the years.
    We tried to see every new movie that came out regardless of plot, genre (he loved horror films, I preferred comedy), critics reviews, who was starring in it, etc. So there was no particular reason we went to see Grease. It just happened to be a new movie that was just released.
    As much as I loved the moviegoing experience in itself regardless of what I saw, as an abused, neglected child, there were a small handful of movies that stood out and managed to hit me in the very right places at the very right time. Grease was one of those movies. Right from my very first viewing, it quickly became one of my all time favorite movies and remains that to this day. In the following years, whenever Grease popped up on tv, I'd drop everything to watch it. Today I own the movie on DVD.
    So, I say to the entire cast and crew of Grease, from the bottom of the heart of an abused boy, thank you all so very, very much.

Its a reminiscence of an adult's time in high school, How perfect and fun and exciting it was. When you look back on your high school years (SO long ago lol), don't you view it as an idealistic time? Hence the "fantasy" elements - flying car, everyone "on mushrooms" as you said. This is also why it connects with every generation. No anxiety, no feelings of being socially excluded, no serious bullying. We all WISH our High School experience was this.

      The best-known cover version of the song is a cover by Debby Boone, the daughter of singer Pat Boone. It held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks in 1977 and topped Record World magazine's Top 100 Singles Chart for a record 13 weeks.

    Glad to see you reacting to this movie. I can still remember my mom taking me with her to see this when it came out in 1978; I was 7 years old. It is still one of my fondest memories. I thought the late Olivia Newton-John was amazing as Sandy. She was so beautiful and talented. Another movie I love watching her in, one that is more fantasy oriented, is Xanadu. If you watch closely in a couple of scenes, you can spot actor Michael Biehn, who played Kyle Reese in The Terminator and Corporal Hicks in Aliens, in one of his early acting roles.

    I think that the reason why Grease is trending is because there are so many movies that are getting reacted to by everyone and their dog that so many other classics are being slept on.

    Some of these things carried over to the 80s, for example, my school had bonfires and a carnival at the end of the year. Drive-ins were dying off but still operating. With MTV in full swing, everybody was singing but it wasn't a musical. So many styles and looks, girls with the teased up hair, dudes with spiked mohawks.. Trixie, you would fit in at any generation, you can adapt to the times.

    The song Greased Lightnin' was obviously about fixing the car for purposes of making out.
    Fun fact: Danny rubbing the foil against his lower extremity was a sneaky way of imitating a condom.

    15:33 - Frankie Avalon, who is singing "Beauty School Dropout," was a real pop icon on the 1950s and 60s. It would sort of be like if there was a film today set in the 2000s, and Justin Bieber had a cameo as himself. Frankie wasn't exactly a teenager anymore, but his iconic reputation as a symbol of teen idols of that decade made him the perfect choice.

    This was a massive movie back in my childhood. Of course as a young child I had no idea of the nature of the relationship, as I sat in the backseat of my parents car at the drive-in. That did not stop me from forming a crush on Sandy though. A couple days later we had the record at home, which was played over and over again.
    A dark theory is Sandy actually drowned that day at the beach .. and this whole story was a dream on her death bed.
    We see Danny and Sandy fly off to heaven at the end of the story headed to the malt shop in the sky.

    Trixy, you said imagine if people did this in real life, well I did it because we did Grease for our high schools fall musical. My friends mom let me use her brothers leather jacket that was actually from the 50s. We didn't use actual hair grease but wet our hair and styled it with a bunch of hairspray in it, when the water and hairspray dries it looks wet like there is grease in it but it holds like a MF.

    The TV dance show is loosely based on the old "Dick Clark's American Bandstand." Dick Clark hosted his show in ABC TV affiliate WFIL in Philadelphia. Teens would line up outside the television studio after school to dance on the live show. Many singers got their start by performing on the show. Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, Chuck Berry , and other young singers gained notoriety on the show. As more dance shows appeared on TV, the competition grew. Dick Clark relocated to Los Angeles to gain ratings by featuring more musicians such as The Beach Boys, Boyce and Hart, Three Dog Night, Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds, The Turtles, and more.
    Other popular dance shows during the 60's included Jerry Blavat, Soul Train, Lloyd Thaxton, and others, but Dick Clark was the most famous.

    Hopelessly Devoted to You was one of Olivia-Newton John's biggest hits. I had a crush on her for years; voice like an angel and so easy on the eyes.
    The coach is Sid Ceaser, who had his own TV show in the late 40's, early 50's era. Your Show of Shows! Awesome variety show from the early days of television.
    Great job, Blue, luv ya!✌️❤️

    Hi Blue, nice to see you!😊 Blue watching a movie made in the 70s about the 50s is pretty funny! 😆You are right about the cast looking like they are in their 30s.😉 I believe Stockard Channing (Rizzo) was the oldest at 34 years old. "Puts Out" means to have sex, Blue. This is actually what American schools were like in the 50s, minus the musical numbers.😆 Olivia Newton-John (Sandy) was a very popular Aussie actress & singer around this time, R.I.P. Her music video "Physical" was big on MTV & VH-1. The soundtrack from this movie sold a lot of albums when this came out in 1978. I believe the TV program with dancing is their version of "American Bandstand" which began on American TV in 1952. Great reactions to a classic 70s comedy musical, Blue!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

    These 1970's movies about the fifties weren't really about the REAL fifties; only a take on them from a later and different perspective. Of course, high schools back then would have been much more conservative than Rydell and they probably wouldn't even allow kids to wear jeans (or dungarees, as they were called back then) to school. The brilliant thing about 'Grease' is that it violated so obviously all the social norms of the time of its narrative in the depiction of the events and people while still connecting to the era through its aesthetic, including the wonderful music, which was also typical 'old style rock and roll' through disco-style pop music of the seventies. And it all worked.
