Question: Which movie critic once owned one of the iconic white suits from Saturday Night Fever?

Answer: Film critic Gene Siskel was such a devoted fan of Saturday Night Fever that he watched the film more than 17 times and, in 1978, purchased one of John Travolta’s iconic white polyester suits from the movie for about $2,000. Seventeen years later, he sold the suit at a Christie’s auction for $145,000—more than 72 times what he originally paid.
