I still rank Saturday Night Fever as the best movie of 1977, with Sorcerer a close second. You’re right about the SNF trailer. But you have to remember, the movie’s producer, Robert Stigwood, was The Bee Gees manager who also owned the label the soundtrack was put on. His top priority in the marketing was to highlight the music and get him a gold record out of it. Worked too, I guess, since the soundtrack is still one of the best selling albums of all time.
I was pleasantly surprised how well the SNF stands up today... and it's also good to see another Sorcerer fan... A stunning move. Thanks for watching and contributing Bob.
@@TerrierComicsbecause it’s not really about disco. At the core, it’s an aimless young person with a dead end job and no real prospects beginning to pull himself out of his rut and maybe go for something better. I think that also explained Tony’s friends. Their tolerable enough, but they get more irritating as it goes on. I think as the audience, we’re supposed to get kinda fed up with them, then it’s a bigger impact at the end when Tony decides he’s also had enough.
