 The original ending to this film depicted Duckie getting the girl.  However, the test audiences said they would have preferred to see  Blane win Andies heart. Additionally, Molly Ringwald (qv) was  sick during the filming of the ending and John Hughes (I) (qv)  wasnt satisfied with the editing. He was also concerned that  audiences would take the original ending as a message that poor  people and rich people dont belong together.
