Anyone of a certain age can remember the summer this one came out.
I well remember idly flipping radio stations on my tiny portable radio while over the park (young Reader, ask your parents...) and finding a song from this on every channel with about 2 minutes of landing on it! It was a smash hit like I'd never seen before, and probably never will again.
The big numbers like 'Greased Lightning' and 'Summer Nights' get all the airtime, But my favourite track is this wonderfully waspish one from Frankie Avalon:

I didn't like the film at all. Because my daughter loves everything to do with musical theatre, I have now seen a few versions of the stage show which is much better.
Tiny portable radios used to be called trannies! Innocent times.
Once upon a time you could take your trannie with you when you went for a fag . . .

Well,don't worry, if they can remake 'West Side Story', then clearly NOTHING'S sacred!
It'll probably be an all-black cast if it gets remade though...
