Great hair....
Good fun, if a bit far fetched, and lots and lots of fantastic hair do's - did we really look like that twenty years ago? Cinematic equivalent of a creme egg....
A fabulous beat the boss movie.
With classic phrases like 'Coffee, Tea, Me', 'I have a head for business and a bod for sin', 'should have checked the milligrams, live and learn' and 'I am after all me', this is a terrific feel good New Yorker film. With an upbeat Carly Simon soundtrack, the chemistry between Melanie Griffiths & Harrison Ford works very well. A must watch for all those up and coming secretaries & PA's out there.

Working Girl
Women, beware women! This appealing chief-suite comedy shows feminism triumphing as Melanie Griffith climbs the corporate ladder to achievement by stepping on Sigourney Weaver's fingers, falling in place of Harrison Ford in the process. Griffith is the exploited and bossed-about secretary to Weaver, alluring over from her in her absence and getting Ford as the main prize. A secretary's require-fulfiller that's an steady-prospering boon for all in director Mike Nichols's assured hands. Carly Simon's Oscar-winning flap, Let the River Run, makes the soundtrack a person to treasure.
