High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Can't Stop the Music is a musical comedy film directed by Nancy Walker in 1980. It is a pseudo-biography of disco's Village People which bears only a vague resemblance to the actual story of the group's formation. It was produced by Thorn EMI Screen Entertainment (formerly EMI Films), and distributed by independent distributor Associated Film Distribution (AFD). The film's producer, Allan Carr, was coming off a massive worldwide hit with the pop musical Grease when shooting began in May of 1979 at the height of the disco craze. Walker shot at MGM studios in Hollywood with location shooting in New York City and San Francisco. By the time of its release during the summer of 1980, however, the disco genre had not only peaked in the United States but was experiencing a backlash there. The film received scathing reviews and audiences stayed away. The soundtrack album was more well-received, actually going top 10 in the UK, and the film actually did well in Australia. At a cost estimated at $20,000,000, the film was a colossal failure financially, bringing in only a tenth of that in gross revenue.
