This 1978 comedy is based on the hit Broadway musical and stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Set in the 1950s you will follow a group of high-schoolers throughout their senior year as they seek a return to "summer love". About half way though this film Travolta’s character, Danny, wants to go out for sports in order to impress the girls. He has to put away the cigarette in order to fail out of basketball, wrestling, and baseball before he is led by the coach to the sport of running. On the track he tries to get some extra attention by clearing a set of hurdles, and when he tumbles over one you can imagine who comes running from the bleachers. He must have remained on the team because at the end of the film Danny is wearing a Rydell High letterman’s jacket (and it appears that he lettered twice that senior year!).
