Yeah "The Last Days of Disco" starring Chloë Sevigny & Kate Beckinsale. It was released the same year as "54" & is set in the nightclubs of Manhattan in the very early 80's. So very similar.
It also contains the original recording of "Knock on Wood" by Amii Stewart, as opposed to Mary Griffin performing as Amii in "54". Why do I care? My father produced that track.
Jamieleng, do you have any idea why Amii's original recording was not used in the film and on the soundtrack? All of the other tracks, other than the theme song - If You Could Read My Mind (original disco version performed by Viola Wills), were the versions from the original artists.
I figured it might be because the director wanted Knock on Wood performed live in the film, and Amii was a little too old for the part (and the costume---which was identical to the one on Amii's original album cover).
I believe, if my memory serves me correctly, that she was asked to appear in the film but declined.
She has lived a relatively quiet life in Italy for many years now, only occasionaly appearing on Italian TV. Below is a video of her performing a duet with Jose Feliciano on an Italian TV show in 2002 (4 years after this film). She looks absolutely fantastic & has hardly aged at all.
