On December 14, 1977, Saturday Night Fever had its world premiere at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. The film starred a young John Travolta, with music by the Bee Gees. Songs like “Stayin’ Alive” or “How Deep Is Your Love” propelled themselves to the top of the charts. That success promoted the movie and changed the trajectory of music and film. The disco beat and dance style soon became fully absorbed by American culture.
