The story behind any classic is rich. The saga behind The Blues Brothers, as Daniel de Visé reveals, is epic. Encompassing the colourful childhoods of John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, the comedic revolution sparked by Harvard's Lampoon and Chicago's Second City, the birth and anecdote-rich, drug-filled early years of Saturday Night Live, where the Blues Brothers were born as an act amidst turmoil and rivalry. Includes the indelible behind-the-scenes narrative of how the film was made, scene by memorable scene.
