The Blues Brothers 1980 UK Quad Advance Film Poster

A brilliantly cool original UK Quad Advance film poster for The Blues Brothers, the cult 1980 comedy starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. This advance design is especially stylish, using the instantly recognisable sunglasses motif and a witty tagline to announce the film before its full release campaign. Its pared-back graphic approach gives it a sharp, memorable quality that perfectly suits the film's deadpan attitude. This advance poster is extremely rare and highly sought-after.

Directed by John Landis, The Blues Brothers began as a Saturday Night Live sketch before becoming one of the great music comedies of American cinema. The film follows Jake and Elwood Blues on a chaotic mission from God, combining car chases, slapstick comedy and unforgettable performances from legends including Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway and Ray Charles.

This vintage film poster was folded (as issued) and has now been professionally linen-backed. It is sized 30 x 39 7/8 inches (plus a little more with the linen-backing) and will be sent rolled (unframed).
