3: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

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

Hadley Freeman and Tarquin Gotch return with Episode 3 of 'Life Moves Pretty Fast' and turn their attention to arguably the greatest and most loved film from John Hughes, the unforgettable 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'. Released in 1986, the film follows Ferris, his best friend Cam and Ferris' girlfriend Sloane as they skip school for the day with a "borrowed" Ferrari to take in all that Hughes' home city of Chicago has to offer. The film stars Matthew Broderick whose sharp and witty turn as Ferris has been a career-defining role, which Matthew talks exclusively about in this brand-new episode.
Check out the Life Moves Pretty Fast box set which is out now and features some of the best tracks from across John's most iconic films.
Life Moves Pretty Fast is produced by Ian Callaghan for Gimme Sugar Productions and Serious Comedy.
