PRETTY IN PINK

1986

Sky Cinema Greats, 1.50pm

This Brat Pack comedy classic from John Hughes stars Molly Ringwald, with whom he made three hit films in the 1980s. She plays Andie, a poor but fashionconscious high-school student who falls for handsome rich boy Blane (Andrew McCarthy) – much to the distress of her long-time admirer Duckie (Jon Cryer). But pressure from their respective cliques keeps the lovers apart, as do their massive Eighties shoulder pads.
