Review of Saturday Night Fever (1977) by Svein S — 24 Nov 2010

One of the best american social realist dramas of the seventies. I thought it was going to be a dance flick, but it isn't. Well, it got a few dance scenes in it, but it's all for the benefit of the story, and it's more like a backdrop for the characters and their problems.

I don't like disco music in particular, but here it works very well. One of Travolta's finest performances.
