Saturday Night Fever
Saturday 13 February 10.50pm
Starring: John Travolta, Karen Lynn Gorney, Barry Miller, Joseph Cali, Paul Pape
Director: John Badham
Rating: 5 stars
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.
