John Travoltastarred in the 1977 movieSaturday Night Fever, playing the role of a young man who spends his weekends dancing at a local discotheque. The movie explores his character’s life struggles and his desire to succeed in life.
Not only was he praised for his amazing portrayal, but the actor earned widespread acclaim for his incredible dancing skills and how much effort he had put in for all the dancing sequences. Travolta even went on to earn a Best Actor Academy Award nomination.
However, the actor had nearly quit the movie because of a change in the shooting style. Travolta had spent weeks preparing for the shot and practiced for three hours daily to hone his skills. So when he saw that theYou Should Be Dancingsequence would be shot in close-up, he threatened to quit for all his efforts would have gone in vain.
Thankfully the production understood how much the shot meant to him and Travolta was allowed to personally supervise the editing so that his brilliant solo performance and the hard work he had put in could be shown to the audiences just as the actor had wanted.
