Saturday Night Fever

John Badham · 1977 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

Tony Manero sells paint in Bay Ridge all week and rules the floor of a Brooklyn discotheque on Saturday nights, where a partner from the better side of the river enters him in a dance contest. Home is a table of shouting relatives; the bridge to Manhattan is the only thing he treats with reverence. The Bee Gees soundtrack made disco a national industry.
