Tonight, Arte is re-airing the film that marked John Travolta's rise to fame: "Saturday Night Fever." To celebrate this iconic actor, we present a quiz featuring eight of his films, each to be recognized with just a single image.

One of the standout moments from the recent Cannes Film Festival was John Travolta's return, donning his signature black beret. The enduring Vincent Vega from "Pulp Fiction" attended to present his directorial debut, "Night Flight to Los Angeles," in the Cannes Première category.

Over his fifty-year career, Travolta has collaborated with some of Hollywood's greatest directors, including Brian De Palma, Quentin Tarantino, and Terrence Malick.

In light of the Arte re-broadcast of "Saturday Night Fever," released in 1977 and pivotal in introducing him to a wider audience, we invite you to take on the quiz about his career by identifying eight of his films using just one image for each. Before diving in, here are a few behind-the-scenes tidbits about the film directed by John Badham.

Staying Alive, the Sequel...

Six years after "Saturday Night Fever," John Travolta reprised his role as Tony Manero in "Staying Alive," a sequel that retained the dance-centric spirit and was directed by Sylvester Stallone, borrowing its title from another hit by the Bee Gees. In the interim, Travolta also solidified his love for musicals with his leading role in "Grease," alongside Olivia Newton-John.

A Legendary Soundtrack

The soundtrack of "Saturday Night Fever" remains one of the most celebrated in cinematic history. It was largely crafted by the Gibb brothers—Barry, Maurice, and Robbin—of the Bee Gees, who created the global hits "Saturday Night Fever" and "Staying Alive" for the film.
