December 14 1977 Saturday Night Fever Premieres
December 14th 2011 00:01
On December 14th 1977, Saturday Night Fever had its world premiere at Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. The film made a star out of 23 year old John Travolta, and propelled the already famous Bee Gees to superstardom that had rarely or has since been achieved.
Well-cast, well-acted and well-directed, Saturday Night Fever received positive reviews from many critics. While it had many cinematic merits, it was the pulsing disco soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever that made it a work of lasting historical significance. From its iconic opening sequence featuring John Travolta swaggering down a Brooklyn sidewalk to the tune of the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive,” to its remarkable dance numbers set in the imaginary 2001 Odyssey discotheque, the music balanced the action in Saturday Night Fever as absolutely as if it were written for the movie, even though most of it wasn’t.
