What About Lee Marvin!

All during the director's heyday, The father of John Hughes worked with my dad. Desperate to find some measure of contact with his weirdo offspring, Larry Faith would unleash anecdotes at every turn about how Hughes was contrary to the Hollywood form, how true he was to the heartland and how his success hadn't changed him. Thinking back now upon those visages of the Chicago suburbs, the angst, the hormones and all those white people -- I can't begin to relate, nor do I wish to return and, thusly, I find the popular films of John Hughes to be quite outside of Joel's definition of hotel cinema.
