It looks different, now that I'm older - and that ain't good!

I remember seeing this when it first came out. I was interested because, while I was in service at the time, off-duty I help run a disco music show at the NCO club in Germany. At the time, to my way of thinking then, I though it was a great movie. I loved the music.
Over the years, I would remember some few scenes from this film - Tony and the guys horsing around on the bridge, the death of Bobby when he fell off that same bridge, the dancing, and the scene of Donna Pescow's character coming up to Tony with all those condoms that she had pulled out of her purse - simply because she was so desperate to get done by Tony.
I just saw it again, over 30 years later. My goodness! I was a fool.
This movie was absolutely awful. Sure, there was a plot, but it was shallow, just like the characters. Pescow's character was nothing more than a slut. She was pathetic. To his credit, Tony said just that (in bluer language), but he wasn't much better.
It seemed that nobody could speak with foul language just spilling past their lips and into our ears - except for the fallen-away priest.
In retrospect, this film just reeks. It was, by no means, a milestone, except to shove filmdom down a slippery slope that it has yet to recover from.
