James Bridges

John Travolta is a writer for Rolling Stone; Jamie Lee Curtis is a beautiful aerobics instructor. When he investigates health clubs as the singles bars of the '80s, sparks fly and a sizzling romance heats up. Marilu Henner, Laraine Newman and Jann Wenner are also featured in "Perfect." Director James Bridges goes behind the scenes at a high-powered magazine where nothing stands in the way of a story, even someone's life. He explores a world where love is a dance played to a pulsing beat and the attainment of physical beauty is everything.

James Bridges (Urban Cowboy, Bright Lights, Big City) directed this 1979 film that became a worldwide sensation when, just weeks after its release, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred. Jane Fonda (Klute, Julia) plays a television news reporter who is not taken very seriously until a routine story at the local nuclear power plant leads her to what may be a cover-up of epic proportions. She and her cameraman, played by Michael Douglas (Wall Street, American President), hook up with a whistleblower at the plant, played by Jack Lemmon (Save the Tiger, Missing).

John Travolta traded in disco duds for a cowboy hat in this corny love story about a working man who breaks up with his girlfriend (Debra Winger), then plays out their relationship's turmoil inside a huge honky-tonk called Gilley's. The story essentially parallels Travolta's prior hit film, Saturday Night Fever, in its blend of ordinary life, incomplete relationships, and personal pride channeled into niche stardom at a neighborhood club.
