GREASE: THE DIRECTOR’S NOTEBOOK

Total Film

Neil Smith

People always ask why Grease has remained so popular through the years,” writes director Randall Kleiser in this yearbook-like tribute to his 1978 smash musical. “I say it’s because it captures the nostalgic feeling of a more innocent time, it had terrific music, and it had a one-of-a-kind cast.” All true – though that cast could have been different had producer Allan Carr had his way – the flamboyant movie mogul originally had porn actor Harry Reems in mind for Sid Caesar’s Coach Calhoun part.

Not only that, but it’s also entirely possible Carrie Fisher might have landed the iconic role of Sandy, had Olivia Newton-John not been happy with the screen test she insisted upon before inking her contract. From the foot injury John Travolta sought to heal using a Scientology technique to the Coca-Cola ad that had to be obscured because of the film’s Pepsi product-placement deal, Kleiser’s Notebook is full of such trivia nuggetry.

Its main attraction, though, is the director’s original shooting script, a fascinating document for both fervent fans who can quote the film verbatim and anybody interested in the pageto-soundstage journey. Sketches, storyboards and hitherto unseen photos contribute to an engrossing chronicle of what Travolta’s foreword describes as “the go-to movie when people need to be cheered up”. There is room, too, for Kleiser to trash the theory that the entire musical is actually a fantasy Sandy envisions while drowning.
