I saw this at the cinema when it came out in 1977, I was a teenager and it was a reflection of the youth and disco era at the time. It was my era, the clothes, the music, the attitudes, spot on. John Travolta made his name with this film, the BeeGees came back into prominence with their amazing soundtrack ( I had it on cassette) numerous men donned the famous white suit, it was a sensation. Now when I watch it, it looks so dated and surprisingly Travolta's next film has gained more prominence in recent times, Grease, but Saturday Night Fever will always be up there for me, a nostalgic film for me now, but it was great!
