Xanadu Don't Walk Away video song reviews from users: The mural depicted in the film never existed. Rather, it was a digital image superimposed over one of the shops in an alleyway on Dudley Avenue and Ocean Front Walk in Santa Monica, California during post-production. Famously received the one sentence review: "In a word, Xana-don't". According to Olivia Newton-John, filming began without a finished script; it was written as filming went on. Amazingly, this was Olivia Newton-John's final big screen theatrical musical for many many years. Despite the failure of the film at the box office, the soundtrack was an enormous success. When Danny McGuire (Gene Kelly) in the movie jokes that "they used to have wrestling here" he was actually making a true statement as the the Pan Pacific Auditorium used to stage wrestling matches. There were 60 Xanadu Dancers, for the Xanadu Roller Disco scene. After Kira has told Sonny that she is one of the Greek muses, she starts to say, "My real name is Terp - ", but Sonny shushes her, and we never get to hear her real name. However, since she is there to help him open a dance club and she is obviously a dancer herself, it is likely that she was about to say that her name was Terpsichore, since Terpsichore was the Greek muse of dance. |
