NEW FROM EFSP: JOHN BELUSHI

New from our friends at European Film Star Postcards: John Belushi

Tonight, John Landis will be at the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival. At the Piazza Maggiore, the American director will take the stage on the occasion of the festival's spectacular final evening with a screening of his cult classic The Blues Brothers (1980) starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. Aykroyd and Belushi first appeared as Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues, a pair of white soul men dressed in black, as a warm-up act before the telecasts of the TV show Saturday Night Live (1975). Building on the success of their acts, they starred in The Blues Brothers (John Landis, 1980), with their musical heroes including Ray Charles, James Brown and Aretha Franklin. This post is a tribute to the forever young John Belushi (1949-1982).
