Saturday Night Fever (30th Anniversary Special Collector's Edition)

Product Description From John Travolta?s electrifying Oscar-nominated* performance to the Bee Gees? top 10 soundtrack to the unforgettable dancing, Saturday Night Feveris a movie sensation that captured the world?s attention like never before. Now catch the fever all over again with this 30th Anniversary Special Collector?s Edition that goes behind-the-scenes with special features on the history, culture and fashion of disco, the smash-hit soundtrack, an exclusive look at Hollywood legend John Travolta, and so much more. Now more than ever before, Saturday Night Fever is the one film that?ll make you feel like dancing. Additional Features As copious as the special features accompanying this new edition of Saturday Night Fever might be--and there's well over an hour's worth of material, not including director John Badham's full-length commentary track for the film itself--watching them is slightly discomfiting. The lack of any sort of participation by John Travolta is a bit like having an elephant in the room (an invisible elephant, at that): everyone knows it's there, but no one dares mention it. Instead, we get a lot of people--Badham, cast, crew, producer Robert Stigwood, folks from the Brooklyn 'hood where the movie was filmed, and so on--talking about the star, along with a few clips of Travolta in action. We also get a 50-minute featurette about Saturday Night Fever's overall impact (all agree it was significant), its music (Barry and Robin Gibb are among those discussing the remarkable success of the soundtrack album, still one of the biggest sellers in music business history), its fashions (one word: yikes!), and the '70s disco scene; there's even an instructor on hand to lead us through some of the key dance moves (now you, too, can make like Travolta to the strains of "More than a Woman"). All in all, not bad? except for that pesky pachyderm. --Sam Graham
