Today for the 30-Day Movie Coach4aday Challenge I watched a movie about a FEVER.
Two weeks ago, as a gag gift one of my buddies Giuseppe “Joe” Terranova got a pair of tight white dress pants. He happens to have been born in Sicily and lived in Northern NJ (Bergen County) before migrating to North Carolina.
It made me think of the 1977 hit “Saturday Night Fever“. I went and rewatched it.
Synopsis
This movie is about going to the Disco. It is also the film that made Englewood NJ native John Travolta a Hollywood star.
Saturday Night Fever is the story of a 19-year-old Italian American who clerks in a paint store. His father is a laid-off construction worker, his mother is depressed, and their relationship is punctuated with slaps and insults. The despair of his parents deepens when Tony’s favored brother quits the priesthood.
Tony finds relief only on the weekends, when he and his buddies—Joey, Double J, Gus, and the unhappy Bobby C.—dress up and hit the local disco, a shabby affair with the aspirational name 2001 Odyssey.
They are “the faces,” the kings of the disco floor, especially Tony.
