I Love 1977

Saturday Night Fever

The film that encapsulated the disco era and made John Travolta a star.

Featuring classic hits from the Bee Gees, Tavares, and KC and the Sunshine Band, Saturday Night Fever tells the tale of Brooklyn disco king Tony Manero. He works six days a week at the local paint store, just so he can live it up on Saturday night.

Most people remember the dazzling dance sequences on the 'kaleidoscopic' underlit dance floor, but forget the film's subtext - as Manero starts to question his narrow-minded view of women and the world. Without doubt, a classic.
