Nine to Five

USA1980 110min Color

Synopsis

Stuck in a dead-end job under a boss that she trained, Violet Newstead is at her wit's end. But when the boss’ secretary and a new hire decide that they've had enough too, their revenge fantasy becomes hilarious reality in a scheme that spins out of control!

Program Note

Nine to Five produced under the inuence of secend-wave feminism is frank feminism comedy which satirizes the gender-discriminating organizational culture. It is a pleasure enough that we can see the chemistry between the young Jane
Fonda and Lily Tomlin who are working together again in Grace and Frankie on Netlx. (Jay SOHN)
