What is Saturday Night Fever / Grease about?

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, 1977, Paramount, 119 min. Plucked from the cast of the ensemble high-school sitcom, “Welcome Back Kotter” for his first-starring film role, this is the movie that made John Travolta a movie star. And confirmed the fact that the man can DANCE! Director John Badham captures the connection between great dance music and the body. Not the usual fare from this director, more known for action and war-themed films. The story of a Brooklyn youth who is stuck in a working-class job and finds that being king of the dance floor during the disco craze of the late 1970’s might be his ticket to bigger things. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER has it all. GREASE, 1978, Paramount, 110 min. Pompadored tough-guy John Travolta learns the meaning of true love, 1950s style, from summertime sweetheart Olivia Newton-John, with help from a fantastic supporting cast including Stockard Channing, Jeff Conaway, Eve Arden and Frankie Avalon.
