You will too."; "What turns a clean-cut college kid into a shambling, sex crazed, drooling, degenerate, drink sodden college kid?"; "A Riotous Comedy in a Class of its Own."; "It was the Deltas against the rules... The rules lost!"; "Dress optional: toga not required!"; "A comedy from Universal Pictures"; "Written by Harold Ramis, Douglas Kenney & Chris Miller") starring John Belushi (as 'Bluto' Blutarsky), Tim Matheson (as Eric 'Otter' Stratton), John Vernon (as Dean Wormer), Verna Bloom (as Marion Wormer), Tom Hulce (as Larry 'Pinto' Kroger), Peter Riegert (as Donald 'Boon' Schoenstein), Mary Louise Weller (as Mandy Pepperidge), Stephen Furst (as Kent 'Flounder' Dorfman), James Daughton (as Greg Marmalard), Bruce McGill (as Daniel Simpson 'D-Day' Day), Mark Metcalf (as Doug Neidermeyer), DeWayne Jessie (as Otis Day), Karen Allen (as Katy), James Widdoes (as Robert Hoover), Martha Smith (as Barbara 'Babs' Jansen), Donald Sutherland ("as Jennings"), Kevin Bacon (very young in his very first movie role as Chip!), Douglas Kenney (the co-screenwriter, as Stork), Stephen Bishop (as "charming guy with guitar"), and Sarah Holcomb (as the mayor's daughter) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we had never auctioned this poster until May of 2018, when we were consigned an example that our consignor had purchased in 1980 at Collector's Book Store in Hollywood, and that the owner of the store told him that this poster had been rejected by the major record store chains because of the gesture made by the cast (a similar problem occurred when Mad Magazine had Alfred E. Neuman making the same gesture!). The owner also said that as a result, most of these posters were destroyed, and that would explain why it was incredibly rare, even in 1980! That poster auctioned for $2,388! Now, almost a year later, we have been consigned a second example of this poster from a different consignor, and it is the second example of this poster that we have ever auctioned. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has many light creases and a few scuffs scattered throughout, but they are most noticeable from close up. One could display this poster as is, or certainly, one might choose to have it linenbacked. Please bear in mind its defects before placing a bid on this very rare and desirable poster.
