Biography

Son enfance
John Belushi est l'un des fils d'une famille de quatre enfants dont James, son frère, deviendra également comédien. Son père Adam, immigrant venu d'Albanie en 1934 à l'âge de 15 ans, se fera alors restaurateur. Le jeune adolescent se rendra vite très populaire auprès de ses camarades du fait de sa triple activité : d'abord en tant que joueur de l'équipe de football de son école secondaire, ensuite comme batteur dans un groupe de rock 'n' roll et, enfin, en tant qu'acteur aux dons comiques déjà fort prometteurs.

Earl Keese is a low-key, ineffectual, middle-class suburbanite with a wife, Enid, and a teenage daughter, Elaine. Earl's peaceful, dreary life changes when a younger couple, Vic and Ramona, move next door. The new neighbors impose themselves on the Keese household, leaving Earl infuriated with the loud, gung-ho Vic, and flustered by the sly and seductive Ramona. Earl is frustrated by his inability to handle them, and the way that he can never come up with absolute proof that the couple are doing anything wrong on purpose.

"Joliet" Jake Blues (John Belushi) is released from prison after serving three years for armed robbery. Jake is irritated at being picked up by his brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) in the Bluesmobile, a battered former Mount Prospect police car, instead of the Cadillac the brothers used to own. The brothers visit their childhood home, a Roman Catholic orphanage, and learn that it will be closed unless $5,000 in property taxes is collected. The brothers visit an evangelical church service where Jake has an epiphany: they can legitimately raise the funds by re-forming their rhythm and blues band.
