CGiii Comment
Quite possibly...the weirdest portrayal of alpha-male-ism and toxic masculinity ever to be put on the silver screen...or, on a disco-dancing floor!
It's camp. It's vain. It's dated.
But...it made a packet at the box office and propelled Mr Travolta & The Bee Gees into the stratosphere of fame and fortune.
Amazing what tights pants, coiffured hair and a screeching voice can achieve.
A classic of its time.

The(ir) Blurb...
Nineteen-year-old Brooklyn native Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at the local disco, where he's king of the club, thanks to his stylish moves on the dance floor. But outside of the club, things don't look so rosy. At home, Tony fights constantly with his father and has to compete with his family's starry-eyed view of his older brother, a priest. Nor can he find satisfaction at his dead-end job at a small paint store. However, things begin to change when he spies Stephanie Mangano in the disco and starts training with her for the club's dance competition. Stephanie dreams of the world beyond Brooklyn, and her plans to move to Manhattan just over the bridge soon change Tony's life forever.
