And Elvis is a karate-chopping biker who's hired as a carnival Roustabout. At first he just provides muscle and a diversion for the beautiful carny girls.

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER
John Travolta gives a sensual and intelligent performance as the troubled Tony Manero Brooklyn paint store clerk by day and undisputed king of the dance floor by night. Every Saturday, Tony puts on his wide collared shirt, flared trousers and platform shoes and heads out to the only place where he's seen as a god rather than some young punk. But in the darkness, away from from the strobe lights and glitter ball, is a tragic story of disillusionment, violence and heartbreak. Without a doubt, Travolta's performance made him a Hollywood legend, but Saturday Night Fever is more than just a movie that defined the music and fashion of a generation. It's a powerful and provocative urban tragedy that carries as much significance today as it did in 1977.

SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS (50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION)
Rollicking western musical in which seven brothers set out to find brides for themselves. Great dance scenes and a fine musical score by Johnny Mercer and Saul Chaplin make this an entertaining film.
When Adam comes home with a dainty, pretty bride in tow, his six younger brothers get the longing to settle down too. Only they have no etiquette, and no idea how to treat a lady. So Milly, their new sister-in-law, gives them lessons in courting and dancing, and sends them out to woo and win some wives. But they're discouraged after an initial failure and decide to take a more direct route to marriage: they kidnap six girls and drag them out to their isolated cabin.
Infuriated, Milly orders the boys to send the girls home.

Like Ol' Man River, Show Boat just keeps rollin' along. Produced by Arther Freed and directed by George Sidney, this 1951 version of the saga of riverboat lives and loves has glorious stars (Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner, Howard Keel, Marge and Gower Champion) in Technicolor radiance, a made-from-scratch 170-foot paddle wheeler, timeless songs and an equally timeless outcry against racial bigotry. "This was music that would outlast Kern's day and mine," Ferber said in recalling her first reaction to hearing Ol' Man River. She was right as rain.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME (NTSC)
"Enormously enjoyable, with a stylish ebullience and an excellent score." - Tom Milne, TIME OUT FILM GUIDE Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly play ball in a big way as 1900s vaudevillians who spend the winter flinging the onstage blarney and the summer flinging the ol' horsehide for base-ball's world champs, the Wolves. Sinatra is second sacker Dennis Ryan and Kelly is short-stop Eddie O'Brien in this Busby Berkeley-directed romp that combines baseball with that other all-American pastime: romance. Esther Williams plays the new team owner and Betty Garret is a Baseball Annie with eyes for blue-eyed Ryan. Kelly and Stanley Donen's deft musical stagings ranged from a soft-shoe duet charmer to an exciting "barrel roll" Kelly solo. Their work persuaded producer Arthur Freed to green-light their direction of the same year's On the Town.
