Just about everyone I know who’s in their 30s fell under the spell of “Grease” when they were kids. Olivia Newtown-John and John Travolta:

‘Prince of the City’
Background: Danny Ciello (Treat Williams) has cooperated with a federal investigation into NYPD corruption, after being assured that investigators wouldn’t go after his friends and fellow cops in the narcotics unit. The feds lied. The clip opens with Ciello’s confrontation with Gus Levy (Jerry Orbach), who won’t cooperate with the feds, soon after Gus learns that Danny, with whom he was very close, is King Rat.

I’m surprised. I always thought of it as Saturday Night Fever without soul or truth. The Greaser/Prom Queen types were about social class, as I recall it, and being working class in the decades since those movies came out has been anything but joyous. I still choke up over that scene in SNF where the girls breaks down and tells Travolta’s character how out-of-place and desperate she has really been at work in Manhattan. I guess Grease has been all kinds of fun I missed, I just couldn’t forgive them for what I considered gutting of the real heart out of the story, which was the real confusion and heartache of the poor trying to “better” themselves.
