- Synopsis:
John Travolta gives a sensual and intelligent performance as the troubled Tony Manero - Brooklyn paint store clerk by day and undisputed King of the dance floor by night. Every Saturday, Tony puts on his wide collared shirt, flared trousers and platform shoes and heads out to the only place where he's seen as a god rather than just some young punk. But in the darkness, away from the strobe lights and glitter ball, is a tragic story of disillusionment, violence and heartbreak. Without a doubt, Travolta's performance made him a Hollywood legend, but 'Saturday Night Fever' is more than just a movie that defined the music and fashion of a generation. It's a powerful and provocative urban tragedy that carries as much significance today as it did in 1977. - Actors:

Wrong Night, Right Film - Saturday Night Fever review by griggs
Turns out the boogie wonderland has teeth.
I expected something closer to Grease — Bee Gees instead of sock-hop nostalgia, but still somewhere near family viewing. Saturday Night Fever had other ideas. It blindsided me with raw Brooklyn grit. The language alone earns its X certificate; Travolta’s Tony Manero is no Sandy-serenading dreamboat.
The detail that hooked me: Serpico and Rocky posters on his bedroom wall. Tony lives in the same cinematic universe as Dog Day Afternoon — a film powered by queer love — so his Attica impression landing right before a volley of casual homophobia isn’t a contradiction. That’s the portrait. These kids worship the film without absorbing a frame of it.
I’m no disco convert, and remain constitutionally allergic to the Bee Gees, yet the dancing, the yearning, and the oddly tender ambition of it all won me over. The floor opened up after all.
