Four decades have passed since the Rydell High gang twisted, hand jived and crooned their way into the hearts of teenagers the world over -- but we`re all still hopelessly devoted to `Grease.` The classic musical, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, took moviegoers back to their high school days with girl next door Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) and bad-boy T-Bird leader Danny (John Travolta). `When we finished it, we really didn`t know what kind of impact it would have,` filmmaker Randal Kleiser, who made his feature-length theatrical directing debut with `Grease,` said in an interview with AFP. `We thought it would do well with teenagers for a summer or two but never thought that, 40 years later, that amazing amount of response from all over the world, and all ages, would happen.` Based on a hit Broadway musical about the love affairs of 1950s
