"Saturday Night Fever" excels in weaving music into its narrative fabric, making it an undeniable star from the get-go—as displayed by John Travolta's iconic strut with a paint can, all the way to the dance contest scenes. While the film offers a compelling look into its era, it doesn't shy away from problematic elements, particularly in its portrayal of women. This aspect, unfortunately, serves as a stark reminder of prevailing attitudes from the late seventies.
