Item description

Vintage original 27x41 in. US one-sheet poster from the classic 1980's crime comedy/drama romance, RISKY BUSINESS, released in 1983 by Warner Bros. and directed by Paul Brickman. A Chicago teenager (Tom Cruise) is looking for fun at home while his parents are away, but the situation quickly gets out of hand. The film also features Rebecca De Mornay, Joe Pantoliano, Richard Masur, Bronson Pinchot, Curtis Armstrong, Nicholas Pryor, and Janet Carroll. This one-sheet poster from Risky Business has become one of the most iconic movie poster images from the 1980's and features artwork designed by John Alvin and Drew Struzan. The image depicts a huge close shot of Tom Cruise sporting his pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers as beautiful blonde Rebecca De Mornay lies seductively on the hood of his father's Porsche, which also plays a pivotal role in this film. Unrestored and folded as originally issued, this vintage original-sheet is in very fine condition with some small creases from handling that are unobtrusive. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws and the colors are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading. In an effort for Tom Cruise to look more "teenage" in appearance, the producers put him though an unusual bit of physical training. Cruise worked out seven days a week, in order to lose ten pounds. Once that had been accomplished, he immediately ceased working out and ate extremely fatty foods in order to add a layer of baby fat. This is how he achieved that "fresh-faced" teenage look. In the DVD commentary, Diane Lane says that Cruise got the script for the film while shooting The Outsiders (1983) and had asked Lane to audition for the role of Lana. Her father later told the producers there was "no way his daughter was playing a twenty-something hooker." The dance scene where Joel (Cruise) dances to "Old Time Rock N' Roll" was completely improvised. In the script, Cruise was simply instructed to "dance to rock music.". The sunglasses Joel wears are the Ray-Ban Wayfarer model. Annual sales of Wayfarers were languishing as of 1983 but skyrocketed 2,000% after the movie's release. This film and The Blues Brothers (1980) have contributed to the popularity of the Wayfarers since.
