June 6 1980 

URBAN COWBOY opens. Directed by James Bridges. Written by Bridges and Aaron Latham, from Latham's  Esquire Magazine article.  John Travolta trades Grease's drain pipes & Fever's disco bell bottoms for the cowboy boots & hat dress code of a Houston Country & Western honkytonk Gilley's where romance with Debra Winger's local cow-girl is only a mechanical bull-ride away. Co-starring Scott Glenn, Barry Corbin and Madolyn Smith.
