Our 2025/26 season continues on Thursday 18th December when we will be showing "Blues Brothers", a 1980 American cult musical action comedy film, staring John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd, and directed by John Landis. Set in and around Chicago, Illinois, where it was filmed, the film features musical numbers by singers James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and John Lee Hooker.
The film is a story of redemption for Jake Blues, a blues vocalist and petty criminal, who is paroled from prison after serving three years of a five-year sentence for armed robbery.
Together with his brother, they set out on "a mission from God" to prevent the foreclosure of the Roman Catholic orphanage in which they were raised. "Blues Brothers" grossed more than $115 million worldwide and has become a cult classic in the years after its release.
