The Female Conundrum

Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta in a scene from the movie Grease.

I REMEMBER the first time I watched the movie Grease at my aunt's place over 17 years ago. (For those who haven't watched it and don't want to know the ending, please skip the next two paragraphs!)

To try and woo the love of his life, John Travolta's bad boy character, Danny, had gone through a 'goodie two-shoes' transformation and to everyone's surprise, finds his sweet and innocent romantic interest, Sandy - played by Olivia Newton John - stepping out in a slick, vampy image to win his heart in return. Danny reverts to his old ways and celebrates, in a grand cinematic finale, a 'happily ever after' with his new sexpot of a girlfriend.
