Saturday Night Fever (1977)
Country: US
Technical: col 119m
Director: John Badham
Cast: John Travolta, Karen Lynn Gorney
Synopsis:
An Italian-American from Brooklyn finds refuge from his uncertain socio-economic prospects and family background by reigning supreme on the dance floor at his local disco.
Review:
What made Paramount a huge amount of money for ancillary reasons (the soundtrack album, the sex and drugs content), was in fact a serious-minded look at social problems and how a young person from that milieu needs validation as much as anyone. It was also a seventies movie, and so did not leave out the uglier aspects, except in an 'A' certificate re-release aimed at the by then inflated youth market.
