Grease (musical)
Grease, the musical and immensely popular movie, is a fundamentally conservative tale of how high school romance transforms a delinquent teenage boy into a productive man.
John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John starred in the Hollywood production (based on the original 1971 musical) released by Paramount Pictures in the summer of 1978, to much acclaim. The movie rocketed to the highest-grossing musical movie of that time, and its soundtrack was the second highest-selling in the United States in that year. This movie has been called the last true blockbuster musical made by Hollywood]].[1]
Shockingly -- and perhaps because this movie is conservative -- this superb movie did not receive a single Oscar. Bias against its featuring of muscle cars and its positive portrayal of traditional relationships may be why Leftist Hollywood shunned it at the Academy Awards.
