highly recommended

Nominated for 6 Academy Awards; director Mike Nichols' witty, romantic look at life in the corporate jungle stars Melanie Griffith as Tess McGill, an ambitious secretary with a unique approach for climbing the ladder to success. When her classy, but villainous boss (Sigourneey Weaver) Breaks a leg skiing, Tess simply takes over her office, her apartment, even her wardrobe. She then creates a deal with a handsome investment banker (Harrison Ford) that will either take her straight to the top - or finish her off for good.

Good 80's movie

Very enjoyable movie. Harrison Ford and Melanie Griffith actually have good on screen chemistry. Very good supporting cast.

holds up fairly well; check out that scary 80s hair!!

This was still an engaging story, given that it's about 20 years old. Sigourney Weaver tries to take advantage of a new secretary, only to find herself outclassed by the bright, eager woman. They also share a man until he chooses one of them for keeps. Melanie Griffith is tolerable enough if you can bear her whispery voice, while Harrison Ford does a nice job with his small role, and Weaver is top-notch as always. Joan Cusack is spot-on as Mel's pal.

The late 80s hair, though....Truly terrifying!

Girl Power

Tess McGill is a secretary in NYC. After her boss pulls one prank too many on her she leaves the firm that she had been at and goes to work for Katherine Parker.

Several weeks after working for Katherine Tess comes to her with an idea. The company that they work for is trying to get into t.v. but have not been successful. Tess tells Katherine that they should try radio first and it would also take care of a takeover bid by a Japanese company. Katherine seems blase about the idea and does nothing about it before she goes on a ski vacation.

During the vacation Katherine breaks her leg and needs Tess to water the plants at her parents house (that she is staying at.) While at Katherine's house she finds a tape recorder with Katherine dictating a note about Tess' idea to go to Jack Trainer.

Tess meets up with Jack and tells him about the idea, posing as a co-worker of Katherine's. They get working on the proposal, and soon sparks are flying. Unfortunately before they can get to far Katherine comes back and it turns out she and Jack were an item, but Jack never got around to ending it before she broke her leg.

What happens next? See Working Girl, a very good movie with an amazing cast.

Working Hard at Working Girl

Working Girl is a good movie, full of fun and surprises. Harrison Ford is good to watch in anything, really. Melanie Griffith has the most annoying voice, but clearly they are aware of this. Sigourney Weaver plays a scheming, conniving manager with an unbelievable ego. But the combination of assistance in different places and the connection between Harrison Ford and Melanie Griffith is what makes her successful and makes the movie entertaining.
