Saturday Night Fever in 1977 was a great success and made a superstar of Travolta, in his first film lead role and only the American public until then best known for his role in the television series Welcome Back, Kotter. Also that year he was nominated for the Oscar for best actor. Also carried the movie to the popularity of disco, that thanks to this film developed from an underground music movement in the us to the most popular music genre of the time. Eventually brought the film to 74.1 million dollars in ticket sales, making it one of the first big blockbusters was.

Travolta has spent a lot of time studying the dance steps. He attached so much importance to, that he convinced not in the dance step sages Badham close-up, as first intended, but from a distance. Several scenes from the movie, such as the dance moves on the disco floor and Travolta's poking fun in the opening scene to the tune of stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees, are imitated and parodied regularly, both in films such as''[http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAirplane! Airplane!] and Boogie Nights ''like the real thing on the dance floor. ==Film Music<span class="mw-editsection" len="344" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">With the film also came from an album, Saturday Night Fever, including six songs by the Bee Gees, who had also composed film music. The sales of this album and the singles who came, in the early months of 1978were so high, that it was not clear whether the success of the film contributed to the success of the album or the other way around. Sometimes stood up to four singles in the charts. Saturday Night Fever was one of the best-selling albums of all time. By this film gave rise to a new relationship between film and music: the album for Saturday Night Fever was still an advertising trick to save a salad from the success of a movie Saturday Night Fever, after it became clear that a film could be also used as advertising for the sale of an album. ===Numbers<span class="mw-editsection" len="341" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ==Sequel<span class="mw-editsection" len="341" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">A sequel came out In 1983 , Staying Alive, starring John Travolta and this time again with Sylvester Stallone as Director.
