Grease (1978) - Hopelessly Devoted to You Scene (4/10) | Movieclips

Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) pines for Danny, singing "Hopelessly Devoted to You."

FILM DESCRIPTION:
"Grease," said the poster and the Barry Gibb song, "is the word." Transferring its setting from Chicago to sunny California, and adding a dash of disco to the ersatz '50s score, producer Allan Carr and director Randal Kleiser turned this long-running Jim Jacobs-Warren Casey Broadway smash into the biggest blockbuster of 1978. 1950s teens Danny (John Travolta) and Australian transfer Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) spend their "Summer Nights" falling in love, but once fall comes, it's back to Rydell High and its cliques. As one of the bad-boy T-Birds, Danny has to act cool for best pal Kenickie (Jeff Conaway) and their leather-clad mates Sonny (Michael Tucci) and Doody (Barry Pearl, in the role Travolta played on-stage). Despite befriending Frenchy (Didi Conn), one of the rebel Pink Ladies, virginal Sandy is "too pure to be Pink," as the Ladies' leader, Rizzo (Stockard Channing), acidly observes. Declaring their devotion in such ballads as "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "Sandy," Sandy and Danny split, reconcile, and split again amidst a pep rally, dances, drive-ins, and a drag race, before deciding "You're the One That I Want" at the climactic carnival. With Travolta white-hot from Saturday Night Fever (1977), Grease soundtrack singles climbed the charts and summer movie crowds poured in. With the presence of Joan Blondell, Eve Arden, Sid Caesar, Edd "Kookie" Byrnes, and Frankie Avalon appealing to grown-up memories, Grease became the highest-grossing film of 1978, the highest-grossing movie musical ever, and the third most popular film of the new blockbuster '70s after Star Wars (1977) and Jaws (1975). Its sequel, Grease 2, did not exactly set the world on fire in 1982.

the sweet sound of a more innocent time...something we lost.

[CandyBullets]

Her singing is amazing here! I love it.
I also really liked the song but it think mainly because her voice really puts the emotion to the song.

RIP Olivia Newton-John. You left this world too soon.

My heart just melts and I try not to cry when my 6 year old daughter sings this song and tells me she loves me. Your children truly answer the question of why we are on this earth. I love you Reecie!!!

I'm here after hearing the news that Olivia Newton John passed away yesterday.

I was introduced to this movie in 1997 when I was 11 years old when my family & I watched it on VH1 (I think it was) & I took an instant liking to it.

I used to hear the Grease Mega Mix on the radio & enjoyed it, so then I was curious about Grease & we all sat down together as a family to watch it.

I've seen this 1 & Grease 2.

I know most people won't like that I mentioned Grease 2, but I still enjoyed it.

R.I.P. Olivia Newton John.

[exckert]
