...reckoning does the present support price cover the average cost of production in the U.S Nor do today's world sugar prices meet production costs anywhere around the globe. Those factors, left unresolved, bode future shortages of a basic commodity vital to the U.S. food chain. We must maintain a domestic production capability...
...FACT, DANNY has a hard time coping with his two images throughout the movie and the whole school year. He wants to maintain his tough-guy image for his buddies and his sweet side for Sandy. The best scene of the movie (when you might be able to believe Travolta can act) comes as Danny tries to apologize to Sandy for the idiotic way in which he has been behaving towards her. They are in the local malt shop, of course, where all the kids hang out. Sandy has temporarily left her football-player date, who has all his brains...
...betrays Peking's deepening concern over the adequacy of its defense forces and the relevance of Mao's dictum that "the richest source of power to wage war lies in the masses of the people." For decades this "people's war" strategy led Chinese generals to maintain religiously that their hordes of soldiers would triumph over any attacker, no matter how sophisticated his weapons.

Some of the musical numbers are staged, for no particular reason, as white-on-white stylizations, à la Busby Berkeley, while others are shot realistically - and sloppily - in places like the high school lawn. Chorus members are not even given attitudes they can maintain when they are in the background of a shot. Camera work is film school simple, and movement within shots does not even reach the levels we are accustomed to in TV, whence Kleiser sprang or, more properly, stumbled. Even the lip-sync in the musical numbers is terrible...
