Free Movie on Fancast: Olivia Newton-John in “Xanadu”

In 1980, Olivia Newton-John was the in thing from way out in Australia after her role in Grease. That’s why she could make a movie as crazy as Xanadu.

She plays a mysterious woman named Kira, who appears to move and inspire a down-on-his-luck artist by the name of Sonny Malone (Michael Beck). She encourages Sonny to start a nightclub with an ex-big band leader called Danny Maguire (Gene Kelly, in a role reprised from his film with Rita Hayworth called Cover Girl), but winds up falling in love with the young man in the process. This proves a problem, because Kira’s real name is Terpsichore, and she’s one of the nine Muses who are charged with inspiring creativity on Earth. Which means Sonny Malone has to appeal to Zeus himself to profess his love for this amazing woman!

It’s a musical featuring music from Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra, and it’s a cut classic featuring a lot of roller-skating. It’s a blast! Check it out!
