Then add in “Joliet” Jake and Elwood on “a mission from God” to save the orphanage, plus attacks on Jake’s life by a mysterious woman left waiting at the altar, pursuit by the angry country western band, and attacks by a neo-Nazi party. What did I forget? Director John Landis herds these events into a crazy-quilt of music and mayhem.

The large cast includes Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Candy, Ray Charles, Twiggy, Steve Lawrence, Frank Oz, Henry Gibson, Steven Spielberg in the Assessor’s office, Ralph Foody as Police Dispatcher, and a long list of other talented folks.
