It's got some great songs. There are a few musicals I can watch multiple times. Grease is one. Also, The Music Man. Others, like Oliver! and My Fair Lady seem to run out of gas part way through.

Read an article that said the song Greased Lightning was supposed to be done by Jeff Conaway, but Travolta pulled rank. Also, the whole finale at the carnival was filmed in one day.

There was one dancer in there that was cute as all get out, and I ended up looking for her all through the movie. She was a slim brunette with shoulder length hair, and is the one in white shorts, keds and a blue top who jumps on the bench and over it with her arms in the air in the final dance number. I never saw her in anything else, and have always wondered if she shows her kids and grandkids the movie and points at herself whenever she comes on.

On the stage, that song was performed by Kenickie.

It’s up there but not nearly the class of Music Man, My Fair Lady, Show Boat or the R&H musicals. Basically nothing post’65 is superb, and mostly verstunken PC crap.

In movies, the greatest ever is Singin’in the Rain, hands down! Great story, comedy and music all in one short to-the-point power-packed film!
