 Abstract: 
				»Katherine Karlin challenges the nostalgia associated with Saturday Night Fever (1977), arguing that the film is a kitchen-sink drama centering on violence, racism, and rape. She discusses the depiction of two sexual assaults in relation to the changing social definition of rape at the time of the film’s release.«
