Musical set in the early 1960s. It depicts the incidents at a High School establishment, which is somewhat upset by the arrival of a new student, an Englishman. The boys and girls group themselves in gangs (the film shows two rival gangs of boys, but only one girls' gang, if I am not mistaken). There is a musical competition which will award a prize in long-playing records to the winning performance. The newcomer remains an outsider, which proves an obstacle to his achieving the love of the school's most popular girl.
While not perhaps a great film, this was quite better than I expected, and an exceptional case of a film to which I awarded a greater score than the IMDb users' average. Both screenplay and direction are quite reasonable, with a greater leaning toward comedy than the first Grease, if I recall correctly after all these decades since I last watched that movie. The songs are not memorable, but work well within the movie's structure.
