Life Moves Pretty Fast - The Music and Movies of John Hughes

6: Some Kind of Wonderful


Listen Later

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.
Life Moves Pretty Fast is produced by Ian Callaghan for Gimme Sugar Productions and Serious Comedy.
