The Blues Brothers: An Epic Friendship, the Rise of Improv, and the Making of an American Film Classic - Softcover
Synopsis
'Highly entertaining' Empire
'A must read' Independent
'Remarkable' Judy Belushi Pisano
'This book is on a mission from God' DBC Pierre
The Blues Brothers hit cinemas on 20th June, 1980. Today, it 's recognised as one of the most significant films of the twentieth century. Its spotlighting of some of the world's most legendary rhythm and blues artists - Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker - made the film as unforgettable as its wild car chases.
In The Blues Brothers, Daniel de Visé shares the history of this timeless movie, encompassing the colourful childhoods of Belushi and Aykroyd; the comedic revolution sparked by The Harvard Lampoon; the birth and drug-filled early years of Saturday Night Live; and of course, the indelible behind-the-scenes narrative of how the film was made.
Based on original research and dozens of interviews probing the memories of principals from director John Landis and producer Bob Weiss to Aykroyd himself, The Blues Brothers illuminates in glorious technicolour, the making of an American masterpiece and the birth of modern comedy.
'Droll and rigorous . . . bracingly thorough' The Times
'[A] diverting celebration' Irish Times
