CONDITION: FINE CONTENTS; LIGHT WEAR TO THE ORIGINAL FOLDER. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: BLUES LEGEND, ROBERT JOHNSON, AND THE CROSSROADS BROUGHT TO HOLLYWOOD. Released in 1986, Crossroads follows a young Juilliard guitarist into the Mississippi Delta in pursuit of a supposedly lost Robert Johnson song, using the crossroads legend and the history of Delta blues as the foundation for a contemporary road movie. The film was directed by Walter Hill from John Fusco's screenplay, with music by Ry Cooder. The production materials are particularly useful for documenting how Columbia Pictures presented the film to the press: Ralph Macchio's youthful star appeal is placed alongside Joe Seneca's portrayal of an older bluesman, while the photographs repeatedly emphasize guitars, performance, the Southern landscape, and the journey toward the crossroads.
