As for this new 40th Anniversary release, you'll want to review our specs coverage below to decide if this one is worth adding to your collection. As noted, if you don't already own the movie, this release is certainly worth your consideration. As for the film itself, it's still a blast to watch and – after all these years - Grease is still very much the "word". Director Randal Kleiser took numerous liberties with the original source material, most notably moving the setting from an urban Chicago setting (based on William Howard Taft High School [10]), as the original musical had been, to a more suburban locale, reflecting his own teenage years at Radnor High School in the suburbs of Philadelphia. [8] He had little control over the musical aspects of the film; his choice of theme song, a composition by Charles Fox and Paul Williams, was overruled when Robert Stigwood and Allan Carr commissioned a song from Stigwood's client Barry Gibb at the last minute.

The biggest difference between this version of the movie and the old Blu-ray is the huge color boost given to the film. I'm sure if we asked Paramount or those who worked on this transfer, they'd tell us that the new colors represent how the original negative looked, but it does appear that they've tinkered with the image a bit more than that – providing an amp up in color that the original movie never intended or captured on camera. How does the movie look? Well, it does indeed pop with bright colors, particularly when compared to the rather subdued and slightly darker rendering of the 2009 Blu-ray release (comparisons can be seen in the screenshots I've provided with this review).

Alternate Ending (HD 0:45) – Shown here in color for the first time (and mostly animated), this "alternate ending" isn't much different from the one we're familiar with. It remained the highest-grossing live-action musical until 2012 when it was overtaken by Les Misérables, [42] and it remained the US champion until 2017 when it was surpassed by Beauty and the Beast. [43] Discounting inflation, Grease is now the seventh-highest-grossing live-action musical worldwide. [42] WOULFE, MOLLY (January 2, 2009). " 'Grease' has deep, dark Chicago roots". nwitimes.com .
