An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (SpanUS 1sh; printed in Spanish in the U.S. for Spanish speaking audiences; 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Blues Brothers, the classic 1980 John Landis Chicago Illinois blues and rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) crime action comedy musical ("They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God."; "The show that really hits the road."; "The most devastating team since nitro and glycerine."; "Written by Dan Aykroyd and John Landis") starring John Belushi (in the title role as Jake Blues), Dan Aykroyd (in the title role as Elwood Blues), James Brown (singer), Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Carrie Fisher, Aretha Franklin, Henry Gibson, The Blues Brothers Band (Steve Cropper, Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Murphy 'Murph' Dunne, Willie 'Too Big' Hall, Tom 'Bones' Malone, Lou 'Blue Lou' Marini, Matt 'Guitar' Murphy, Alan 'Mr. Fabulous' Rubin), John Candy, Kathleen Freeman, Frank Oz, Twiggy, Charles Napier, Paul Reubens (as a waiter), John Lee Hooker, and Steven Spielberg (as a clerk). Note that a big part of the appeal of this movie was the cameo appearances by many of the greatest blues legends of all time, and the soundtrack included not only classics performed by Belushi and Aykroyd, but also original classics from the performers themselves!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and often there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Condition: fair. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had been folded across the center and had creases, tears, and some paper loss in the borders. The poster was not that well backed, because you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I would think few collectors would want to display it as it is, without someone performing some additional restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid. Note that the poster was not glued to the linen properly, and there are now creases and areas where the poster is "lifting" from the linen scattered throughout. Learn More about condition grades
