A double helping of John Travolta at his gyrating best. Already a runaway success on the American stage, the screen version of retro-musical 'Grease' made it a hit around the globe, cemented John Travolta's star status, and ensured the show's revival in numerous incarnations up until the present day. After their summer romance ends, Danny (Travolta) and Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) are unexpectedly reunited at high school when the latter moves to Danny's town. However, their relationship stalls when it becomes apparent that Sandy is not 'cool' enough to date gang leader Danny. Hit songs include 'You're the One That I Want' and 'Greased Lightning'. Whilst in the more adult 'Saturday Night Fever' Tony (Travolta) is a Brooklyn roughneck stuck in a dead-end job as a salesman in a paint shop, who lives for Saturday night down at the disco, where his stylish dancing has made him something of a local hero. But Tony wants more than his small world can offer. Through the influence of Stephanie (Karen Gorney) - his more sophisticated dance partner - and Tony's brother - a disillusioned priest - Tony starts to question and think about the possibilities for change. The Bee Gees provide the thumping Seventies disco soundtrack.
