Saturday Night Fever
Tony Manero is a Brooklyn paint-store clerk who’d give anything to break from the dead-end existence. In life, Tony is a peasant; about the disco dance floor, he is a king. Since the soundtrack plays one Bee Gees hit after the next, white-suited Tony struts his stuff amidst flashing lights and sweaty, undulating bodies. Tony’s class aspirations are reflected in his relationship with his dancing partner, a secretary keen to move to the glamorous world of Manhattan.
