For me GREASE was more than just a movie. It was a significant life event, a phenomenon ... and till today I can vividly remember when and where I watched it. Actually I wasn't even keen to see the movie. I was in my late teens, studying in London and with a bunch of friends. I only agreed to go but reluctantly as I wasn't a fan of James Dean and having scanned the movie posters, I thought that another movie on that era couldn't be very interesting. And set to music? Box office disaster for sure I thought. Boy, was I wrong !
Anyway here are a couple of my favourite scenes from the movie. Turn up the volume on your PC and enjoy.
Automotive enthusiasts among us should like this next one ...
And I urge you to bring your stovepipe pants or tight jeans out of the storeroom and try dancing to this one ...
Yeah, GREASE was a cultural event. I still have the Grease soundtrack on LP, though I haven't figured out how and when I'll be able to play it. I also have the DVD of course.
Finally look at them two decades later ... this came from the reunion party for the cast of GREASE.
Aaaaahhhhh .... N-O-S-T-A-L-G-I-A time ....
