Saturday Night Fever
Avg 3.0
John Badham's "Saturday Night Fever" was a very vibrant romance story, brimming with drama. The music and soundtrack gives a nod to the disco genre, dominated by the Bee Gees'. You cannot help but want to buy your own bell-bottom trousers and go with the flow in this guilty pleasure movie. Despite this fun exterior, the plot focuses on the restlessness and ruthless violence of New York City. The performance from John Travolta is probably one of his most underrated and barely recognised performances. Maybe the social commentary in the movie would have been better accepted and appreciated by contemporary audiences.
