At the time he made the icon- ic 1977 drama – which MGM+ shows Tuesday, Sept. 19 – the actor already was a television star, thanks to his Vinnie Barbarino role on the sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter." As popular as he was on that show, he redefined himself with a surplus oi charis- ma as "Fever's" Tony Manero, a paint-store employee and half-hearted gang member who lives for the nights he spends as the king of the dance floor at a disco in Brooklyn, N.Y. Tony sees an opportunity to do more with his moves when the disco stages a contest. Fervent admirer Annette (Donna Pescow) is desperate to be his partner, but he has his eyes and mind set on Stephanie (Karen Lynn Gorney), whom he spots displaying her talent on the floor one night. He proposes that they team up, but the personal differences between them quickly become apparent, with Stephanie eager to be a social climber (boasting about meeting the likes of Laurence Olivier through her job) while Tony is relatively content with his station in life. Through a series of ad- vancements and setbacks, their relationship does develop, but it's to the credit of director John Badham and his team that it's never the sole focus of "Saturday Night Fever." Tony's work and family lives also get substantial attention, as does his connection to his pals, some of whom play rougher and more careless. And atmosphere is everything in the picture, right from the opening credits that show Travolta doing Tony's famous strut through the streets as he downs pizza and at- tempts a pickup or two. moviereview By Jay Bobbin Karen Lynn Gorney and John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever" John Travolta still has "Saturday Night Fever"
