Review of Grease

Perennial classic that never loses its shine no matter how many times you see it.

Travolta has never beaten his role as greaser Danny Zucco, who is both charming and hapless, sexy and stupid. His comic turn makes you wonder if he should have pursued a much more comedic career (Look Who's Talking films aside).
Olivia Newton-John is sweet and the picture of innocence as Sandy and her transformation at the end of the film to sexy strumpet is still a shock.

The supporting cast as so memorable they get permanently imprinted on your psyche, as do the musical numbers, which remain fresh and invite you to sing your heart out, leaving only the hardest hearted not caught up in their joy.

In a post-Glee world it's wonderful to see that this film's still sizzles and fizzes with charm and originality, particularly its script that is so ripe full of sexual innuendos and ribald humour it still surprises me it passes with a PG certificate.

A musical classic that will never fade.
