Summary "Forty-four years since one of the most significant films of the 20th century hit theaters, this story of the epic friendship between John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, the creative geniuses behind modern comedy, doubles as a behind-the-scenes narrative of how the film was made, scene by memorable scene."-- Provided by publisher
