John Hughes
Notas del episodio
John Hughes helped define the sound, style and emotional texture of 1980s American cinema. From Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Home Alone, his work captured teenage insecurity, suburban family life and the comedy of ordinary chaos with rare warmth and wit. This episode of Compact Biographies looks at Hughes's Midwestern roots, his advertising and comedy writing background, his rise through National Lampoon and Hollywood, his remarkable creative run, his retreat from public life and the legacy he left behind.
