This is an original Japanese B2 movie poster printed in 1977 for the first Japanese theatrical release of Saturday Night Fever (サタデー・ナイト・フィーバー), a United States disco-era drama directed by John Badham, starring John Travolta, with Karen Lynn Gorney, Barry Miller, and Donna Pescow.
Film background
Released in 1977, Saturday Night Fever became the defining film of the disco era—capturing late-’70s youth culture, working-class frustration, and weekend escape through music and dance. Travolta’s star-making performance as Tony Manero—confident on the dancefloor, restless everywhere else—helped turn the film into a global phenomenon, while the Bee Gees soundtrack became one of the best-known pop culture releases of its time.
Poster design
A classic Japanese B2 centred on Travolta’s iconic dance-floor pose in a white suit—arm raised beneath glittering club lights—set against a field of multicoloured disco reflections. The left margin runs a bold vertical Japanese callout, selling “Saturday night fever” as pure illumination and youth energy, while the English SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER logo sits at top right. The bottom is anchored by the vibrant, lightning-bolt title badge 「サタデー・ナイト・フィーバー」, an unmistakable piece of late-’70s pop typography with huge wall impact.
