Saturday Night Fever | Movie & Music Documentary - John Travolta, Bee Gees, Robert Stigwood

The audio in this documentary is captured from various interviews. Saturday Night Fever is a 1977 dance drama film directed by John Badham and produced by Robert Stigwood. It stars John Travolta as Tony Manero, a young Italian-American man from the Brooklyn borough of New York. Manero spends his weekends dancing and drinking at a local discothèque while dealing with social tensions and disillusionment, feeling directionless and trapped in his working-class ethnic neighborhood. The story is based on “Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night“, a mostly fictional article by music writer Nik Cohn, first published in a June 1976 issue of New York magazine. The film features music by the Bee Gees and many other prominent artists of the disco era.
