After Wayfarers' heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, sales declined.[1] Though Wayfarers' cultural popularity was aided in 1980 by the film The Blues Brothers, only 18,000 pairs were sold in 1981,[8] and Wayfarers were on the verge of discontinuation.[9] In 1982 Ray-Ban signed a $50,000-a-year deal with Unique Product Placement of Burbank, California, to place Ray-Bans in movies and television shows.[8] Between 1982 and 1987, Ray-Ban sunglasses appeared in over 60 movies and television shows per year,[8] an effort continued through 2007.[10] Tom Cruise's wearing of Wayfarers in the 1983 movie Risky Business was one of the key placements, and that year 360,000 pairs were sold.[8] Additional appearances in movies like The Breakfast Club, and series like Miami Vice and Moonlighting, led sales to 1.5 million annually.[8]
