| Most of what this 70s classic is known for—the light-up dance floor, its soundtrack, John Travolta—almost never came to be due to a tight budget, unproven film star, the Bee Gees’ failing career and last-minute directorial changes. In fact, the movie faced so many challenges up to its last shooting day that it was a miracle it was finished at all. Based on a New York magazine article examining the phenomena of disco in urban America, Saturday Night Fever made a veritable star out of John Travolta, produced the 2nd best-selling soundtrack of all time, and still stands today as one of the most detailed and beloved snapshots of American popular culture. - LG | ||
