  National Lampoon’s Vacation

  £595.00

  “Every summer Chevy Chase takes his family on a little trip. This year he went too far”

  Written by John Hughes and Directed by Harold Ramis “National Lampoon’s Vacation” is one of the strongest comedies of the 1980’s and stands head and shoulders above anything else from National Lampoon (Animal House runs it very close though) before or since while following the mishaps that befall the Griswold family on the way to the mythical theme park Walley World. The movie poster that accompanied the release is one of the most memorable and best of the comedy genre; a magnificent piece designed by leading fantasy artist Boris Vallejo….The original 1983 UK quad movie poster offered has been SIGNED by the three stars featured on the poster – CHEVY CHASE, BEVERLY D’ANGELO and CHRISTIE BRINKLEY with both D’Angelo and Brinkley adding their character names; Ellen Griswold and Ferrari Girl. All three signatures are lovely and clear in blue ink and really stand out against the neutral background. Originally folded (as issued) it is presented in excellent original unrestored condition with great colours and outstanding artwork. Very rare in such fine condition and SIGNED, it represents very collectable & desirable original film memorabilia from a film lauded as a modern comedy classic with iconic artwork that is sure to impress.

  The signatures were obtained at Fan Expo Dallas in June 2023, where the cast were promoting the 40th anniversary of the Film’s release.

  Trivia: John Hughes‘ script was inspired by an equally ill-fated family trip to Disneyland when he was five years old, which was what his National Lampoon Magazine article “Vacation ’58” was about.
