Review of Saturday Night Fever (1977) by Derek D — 26 Aug 2012

Quite simply one of the greatest "musicals" ever made. I only put it in quotations because musicals are usually thought of involving singing and this movie focuses on dancing...and has some of the best dancing ever seen in it courtesy of one of the best at the time.

..John Travolta. It's a period piece, but doesn't seem as dated as it should. There are underlying stories here within the music and sequences, but most people just remember it for the disco score and soundtrack.

An importantpiece of American cinema history and kudos to the Puerto Ricans, who should've rightfully won that contest!
