	Saturday Night Fever
		In 1997, 20 years after the release of Saturday Night Fever, British journalist Nik Cohn admitted that his original magazine article "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night," published in New York Magazine, was a fabrication.
		That story was the inspiration for the film, and although the story turned out to be fake, the slice of life that the movie presents still rings true to legions of fans.
		To the average movie patron though, Saturday Night Fever was the "hot" dance movie of the '70s.

		Yet it was also a night of discoveries for Cohn who followed Sweet into the dead end shambles of the Crazy Country Club where a drunken reveler vomited on his leg thereby ending his first foray into the nascent disco scene of New York City.
		Called "Another Saturday Night", the article was at least partially derived from Cohn's working class experience growing up in Derry and was intended to suggest Saturday nights were a creative ritual in an otherwise dreary slice of the missed American dream machine.
		Though a fairly straightforward coming-of-age story, Saturday Night Fever is easily dismissed by some and praised by others for being a prototype of the high concept, lowest common denominator style of filmmaking that crystallized with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas in the '70s.

		Saturday Night Fever—which shows next Wednesday, June 21, at Cinema San Pedro—is a piece from a leaner, more serious age of filmmaking.
		Saturday Night Fever has far more in common with Mean Streets than, say, Thank God It's Friday or even Saturday Night Fever's putrid sequel, Staying Alive.
		Saturday Night Fever shows Wednesday, June 21, at dusk at San Pedro Square in San Jose as part of Cinema San Pedro, sponsored by Cinequest.

	Emanuel Levy : Review - Saturday Night Fever
		The film enticingly broadcast the new social rituals of the Bay Ridge discotheque throughout the country, which quickly became the social rituals of clubs in every major city.
		The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack set a precedent for the two-album soundtrack, which was also a big success with Grease (1978), but in the end disastrous for double soundtracks to The Wiz (1978) and especially Stigwood's film version of the Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band (1978).
		The soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever was a huge seller because it had a vast breadth of appeal: it was soft, palatable disco music, barely even funky, yet quite danceable.

		A movie and soundtrack that was the brainchild of Robert Stigwood, it is based on an article in New York magazine by Nick Cohn, called Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night.
		Somehow in the course of the discussion, the word "Saturday" was tacked onto the front of it, and of course the name stuck.
		Saturday Night Fever became the best selling album of all time, with total sales in the 50 million range until the top spot was overtaken by Michael Jackson's Thriller in the mid '80s.

		In 1976, Cohn sold a story to New York magazine about a disco stallion from an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, called "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night." But it was a fake: he invented the central character, a suave neighborhood dance-floor king, from details remembered from his mod days.
		And now, as then, a new generation of writers is creating a critical mass of writing that cries out to be read, enjoyed, and debated.
		But when the time came for the new generation of writers to ride – the most diverse group of music writers ever – they chose not to fight their way into the rockstream, a strategy that would have promised endless war and a dubious payoff.

	Saturday Night Fever - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Saturday Night Fever, as a movie and an album, and a brace of hit singles off of it, suddenly made disco explode into mainstream, working- and middle-class America with new immediacy and urgency, increasing its audience by five- or ten-fold overnight.
		The Bee Gees had written "Stayin' Alive" (then called "Saturday Night"), "Night Fever," "How Deep Is Your Love," "If I Can't Have You," and "More Than a Woman" for what would have been the follow-up album to Children of the World, and they might well have enjoyed platinum-record status with that proposed album.
		Heard on CD as 79 minutes of music, Saturday Night Fever comes off like an idealized commercial-free radio set of late-'70s dance music (and, in that regard, the decision to leave Rick Dees' "Disco Duck" off the soundtrack album was a good one for all concerned, except Mr.

	The New York Magazine Pictures That Led to the Movie Saturday Night Fever -- New York Magazine
		Though he wasn’t born until 1977, Tony Manero, the disco-dancing, white-suit-wearing, finger-pointing-to-the-sky hero of Saturday Night Fever, exists now as a mascot for “the seventies” in the way, say, that Gordon Gekko exists as a mascot for “the eighties,” or Mickey Mouse exists as a mascot for the wonderful world of Disney.
		So it’s easy to forget that Saturday Night Fever wasn’t all glitz and disco balls and stayin’ alive; it was a dark portrait of sexual aggression and suicide among working-class Italian kids stuck at the ass-end of seventies-era Brooklyn.
		The article, written by Nik Cohn, about a group of Bay Ridge “Faces” who colonized a disco every Saturday night, turned out to be almost entirely made up—a combination of New Journalism extrapolating and deadline-pressure riffing.
