Musical starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield. September 1961, and it's back to school for the students of Rydell High. As the T-Birds and Pink Ladies reassemble, Michael, a handsome young Englishman, joins the senior class. The status quo is soon under threat when he falls in love with Stephanie, the most beautiful of the Pink Ladies.
This unprepossessing sequel to the massive John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John hit is notable for a great title song by the Four Tops and a then little-known Michelle Pfeiffer in a clinging short skirt. This is the story of Rydell High School some years on from those halcyon days of drainpipe trousers and stiff petticoats. The problem is that director/choreographer Patricia Birch tries to bring those high steppin', arm-waving innocent production values to an altogether grittier era of emerging 1960s liberalism. It doesn't work, but you could spend the time spotting relatives of the stars - Liza Minnelli's stepsister, Lorna Luft, is the most "distinguished".
