It's tough to imagine anything more quintessentially 70s than John Travolta's star-making entrance at the beginning of Saturday Night Fever. He plays Tony Manero, a young Italian-American with dreams of making a name for himself with his talent for disco-dancing. His charisma and self-confidence explode off the screen as he struts down the street carrying a paint can jauntily in one hand with the BeeGees screeching in the background. Disco may not have been a particularly long-lived fad, but no one can dispute the fact that Saturday Night Fever championed its stylistic elements like nothing else, and John Travolta as Tony Manero was its patron saint.
