Ferris Bueller's Day Off, starring a young Matthew Broderick, is that movie that was always playing on TV at a friend's house as a kid. That I would always sit down and catch the last half of. That I would ask the name of and completely forget it by the time I left. But eventually I rediscovered it properly and fell in love with its angst. That's not what today's video is about, though. Today, I'm here to talk about how director John Hughes wrote the film in less than a week, and how legendary film editor Paul Hirsch saved Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the edit.
