John Hughes Remembers Working on "National Lampoon's Vacation"

A lot of rewrites. I kept, I worked on it for a long time. It's based on a short story. I remember sitting and watching the rough cut and it was great, because it was like, boy, this is my dad. That's my dad blowing his top, you know, with a dead end on the roof. You know what I mean? It was just, it was really fun and I loved seeing what Chevy did with it. Same thing with Mr. Mom. Seeing what Keaton did with that. It was a lot of fun. Because I was through. There's a lot of autobiographical material in that.
