Slice-of-life tale about a working-class young Brooklyn Italian-American who finds an escape from his mundane neighborhood existence at the local discotheque, where he is the "king of the dance floor." (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (2)
An exceedingly superficial film lacking a cohesive plot and notable acting performances. However, the dance sequences, costumes, and notably the music and editing contribute significantly to my overall impression of 30%...

When I first saw the film and thought it would just be another Grease, I was pleasantly surprised. The Bee Gees' songs evoke a slightly different vibe, but this is a proper drama that also boasts beautiful songs and excellent dance numbers. But the story takes the lead, and that's good because it's excellent and wonderfully directed.
