GREASE
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.
