Directed by Randal Kleiser (The Blue Lagoon, Flight of the Navigator, It's My Party) made an entertaining Comedy/Musical set in the High-School teenager life of the late 1950's. This film is based on a popular Broadway show, which is created by Jim Jacobs & Warren Casey. This film has fun performances, it has memorable songs, it has an funny visual style, excellent choreography by Patricia Birch (Who directed the campy "Grease 2" and imaginative filming by Bill Bulter (Anaconda, Frality, Jaws). This was one of the biggest hits of 1978, this was even got re-release in 1998 to respectable box office run.
The previous DVD edition has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an digitally remastered-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD features are:Grease Songbook, Restrospective Interviews with the Cast & Crew and the original theatrical trailer.
The latest DVD edition has the same picture and sound quality from the previous DVD transfer. The new features are an running commentary track by director:Kleiser and Choreographer:Birch, deleted scenes, an new featurette and more. This film seems that it will never aged, because of an ingraining cast and Kleiser's sure-hand direction. Which is extremely well done, which is best seen in Widescreen. Watch for a young Michael Biehn in a couple of scenes, which he's uncredited. Panavision. (****/*****).
