Plot Summary:
|
Tony is an unread Brooklyn minor. The highlight of his week is prospering to the local disco, where he is the king of the dancefloor. Tony meets Stephanie at the disco and they accept to dance together in a contest. Stephanie resists Tony's attempts to romance her, as she aspires to greater things; she is moving across the river to Manhattan. Gradually, Tony also becomes disillusioned with the life he is leading and he and Stephanie decide to refrain from people another to start afresh.

Saturday Night Fever
Youthful frustration set to one of the greatest film soundtracks ever recorded. John Travolta proved himself a star in this classic 1970s disco movie
On paper, walking down the street carrying a tin of paint is not the sexiest opening to a film ever devised, but it certainly looks cool on screen. Saturday Night Fever is based on an article in 'The New Yorker' about blue-collar workers who blow their wages at discos on the weekend; and, through Tony Manero (a perfectly cast Travolta), writer Norman Wexler and director John Badham explore the issues at the heart of this culture. Tony is a paint-shop employee desperate to transcend his drab Brooklyn existence and the only way he knows how is by dancing at the club where he's treated like a god.
