Nine to Five (1980 Colin Higgins)

Higgins also wrote Harold and Maude and Silver Streak.

Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin & Dolly Parton, often together in the same shot; not sure there's much chemistry between them. Fonda is a long way from Fuck the Army.


Dabney Coleman is the horrid boss, whose fate is worse than the fantasies; Sterling Hayden is in it briefly.

That there are absolutely no sympathetic male characters in this comedy perhaps makes it unique.

Some of the bit parts are terribly acted, e.g. doctor in hospital, who we had to watch twice!
