    6: Some Kind of Wonderful
    2022/12/29
    In the final episode of Life Moves Pretty Fast, Hadley Freeman and Tarquin Gotch uncover the story of 1987's high school drama "Some Kind Of Wonderful". Like "Pretty In Pink", the film was written by John Hughes and directed by Howard Deutch, and in some ways acts as a correction to "Pretty In Pink" supplying the ending Hughes and Deutch wanted with "Pretty In Pink" but were denied by test audiences and studio tinkering. Much like many John Hughes films, it had a soundtrack dominated by UK indie music from the likes of The Jesus And Mary Chain,  Propaganda and Flesh For Lulu.

    In episode 5 of 'Life Moves Pretty Fast', Hadley Freeman and Tarquin Gotch pick over the 1986 teen classic "Pretty In Pink", written by John Hughes and directed by Howard Deutch. This update to the Cinderella story made Molly Ringwald not only a star but an icon. Plus the soundtrack gave The Psychedelic Furs a huge hit with the title track, whilst also introducing other UK acts like The Smiths, Echo And The Bunnymen and New Order to the huge and receptive American audience.

    4: Sixteen Candles

    In this episode of 'Life Moves Pretty Fast', Tarquin Gotch and Hadley Freeman study 'Sixteen Candles', John Hughes' directorial debut. Starring Molly Ringwald, who'd go on to feature in three consecutive Hughes movies - and become something of a muse to him and a celebrity in her own right - it tells the story of a teenager's worst day. And as would become the pattern for Hughes' teen movies, it does so with just the right mix of comedy, insight and empathy whilst introducing a number of budding young actors; in this case Anthony Michael Hall and John and Joan Cusack.
