Joel's (Tom Cruise) sunglasses with a press kit and materials from the production and promotion of Paul Brickman's Risky Business.

This lot consists of a pair of black plastic Ray Bans Wayfarer sunglasses labelled "TC 4" along the inside arm; a 37-page press kit containing biographies of the cast and seven black-and-white stills from the film inside a Risky Business-branded folder; a typewritten correspondence from Porsche Audi PA manager Marvin Gruber to property master Jack E. Ackerman declining the use of a Porsche 928 in the production; a 1982 Porsche pamphlet promoting a Porsche 928; a copy of a production call sheet dated "September 14, 1982"; a black-and-white still of Jack wearing his sunglasses; and a printed copy of the film poster.

This lot exhibits folding to the call sheet, scratches on the sunglasses, and minor discolouration on the press kit. Dimensions: (largest) 23 cm x 30.5 cm x 5 cm (9" x 12" x 2")
