Just a bit of nostagia time. I remember when this came out in 1978 here in the UK, Star Wars was still riding high as it was also on general release in the UK. So, with this movie we had another box office smash. The music was in the charts and everyone was crazy for it. I remember some mates at school switched thier allegiance from Star Wars to this movie (Bah!) even though at the time the film was an X cert and no one could see it. So most school kids had to wait until the film was re released in 1979 as an A cert cut version. This was the version that also double billed with Grease.
Watching the movie now, it is for me a time capsule of those heady school days and times of the 1970's as it captures the time perfect.
... and yes, I still remember how to do the Night Fever line dance, ha ha!  |
The first time i watched this film it really took me by surprise i mean on face of it it just looks like a happy go lucky dance film but when you watch it its a pretty dark affair.
