The film was released in 1979 in Italy and directed by Neri Parenti. The plot revolves around the comedic misadventures of Gianni (played by Giuseppe Spezia), who is a hopeless romantic with dreams of becoming a dancer and winning the heart of DJ Stella (Cicciolina). His resemblance to John Travolta becomes the key to his newfound popularity, with everyone around him mistaking him for the famous actor.
Throughout the film, Gianni struggles to keep his identity a secret while navigating a series of hilarious situations, including a dance competition where he must impersonate Travolta. Along the way, he must also confront his jealous boss and an overbearing father who disapproves of his dreams.
One of the standout features of the film is its tongue-in-cheek references to popular American films, including Saturday Night Fever and Grease, as well as its incorporation of disco music and dance numbers. The film was a box office success in Italy and has since attained a cult following among fans of the Travoltasploitation genre.
