John Travolta stars as a local disco kingpin at the peak of his popularity. Once a week, after six full days of work in a Brooklyn paint store, Tony (Travolta) douses himself with Brut cologne, dons a floral bodyshirt, gabardine pants and platform shoes - and ritualistically prepares himself for "Saturday Night Fever."

"The story here is really secondary to character and milieu, as director John Badham and his actors create a convincing portrait of frustrated 1970s working-class youth and the escape offered by the swirling lights and pulsing rhythms of the disco." ... Read full review

The New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
"Fever beings to flag when, after an initial hour filled with high spirits and jubilant music, it settles down to tell its story; the effect is so deflating that it's almost as though another Monday has rolled around and it's time to get back to work. [16 Dec 1977]"

I always enjoy watching Saturday Night Fever. It's not my favourite film though, even if all my friends make out that it's more I always enjoy watching Saturday Night Fever. It's not my favourite film though, even if all my friends make out that it's more than a favourite to them than I can imagine. The film isn't at an obvious level worthy of being filmed, or for that matter capable of being seen as an art work. I may be one of a few individuals who think this movie is still good enough to watch during 2004, even though it probably seems to everybody concerned as if we are worth much more this time round.… Expand

A hugely successful film that spread disco music and dancing all around the land, SNF stands tall as an image of its place (Brooklyn, NY),A hugely successful film that spread disco music and dancing all around the land, SNF stands tall as an image of its place (Brooklyn, NY), its people (working class Italian-Americans), and its times (late 1970s.) It was based on a magazine article that turned out to have been mostly fake, but that doesn't detract from what was eventually created here. John Travolta is brilliant in the lead role - he successfully conveys Tony Manero's charisma, ambition, and vulnerability. The other actors are less impressive unfortunately. Some of it is melodramatic and out of date for sure, but it is still a powerful movie and a good candidate for a 1970s time capsule.… Expand

Man is dancing legend at club, works at hardware store during day, rows with family, sees woman who he wants to partner him in danceMan is dancing legend at club, works at hardware store during day, rows with family, sees woman who he wants to partner him in dance competition, tries to persuade her, dancetastic.
Dated yet iconic seventies-fest with John Travolta strutting his stuff & playing pretty much a prototype of Danny Zuko which he'd play in his next film.
It does have a dark side to the film which most people forget & I was surprised how much the "c" word was thrown about.
Still, the dancing & music are great & always a good laugh for the hairstyles & fashions.… Expand
