B.B. King "Into the Night" is a 1985 documentary film directed by Jeff Okun and co - directed by John Landis for the Universal and it was produced by Leslie Belzberg, John Landis and George Folsey Jr.
Landis made three music parts of this film, which are - in fact - music videos of B.B. King's songs: "Lucille", "Into the Night" (specially composed by Ira Newborn for the film Into the Night) and also for the song "In the Midnight Hour". Videos for "Lucille" and "In the Midnight Hour" are similar and shows B.B. King and his Band (Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin) during a performance in an Eighties nightclubs. Video made for "Into the Night" took place in a television studio and shows B.B. King with Jeff Goldblum. Jeff Okun directed the rest of this film (including editing archival King's footage and interviews with Landis and King). The movie was made to promote Into the Night and as a tribute to B.B. King's life and art.
B.B. King "Into the Night" appears on the Into the Night movie DVD as a special feature.
