Working Girl (1998 - oops - 1988 Mike Nichols)

Really enjoyed this again, particularly that Melanie Griffith's character is stronger than her romantic partner Harrison Ford - it's Sigourney Weaver who's the archetypal bitch, though nice boss Philip Bosco soon sees through her. In fact it's a Judy Holliday film, updated.

Griffiths looks eerily like her mum in one street shot; same grey colour suit as The Birds. She's rather good in this.

With an alarmingly young looking Alec Baldwin and Oliver Platt, Joan Cusack, Kevin Spacey.

Edited by Sam O'Steen and shot by Michael Ballhaus.

Review from 23.2.10 included: "Worth whole price of admission for [albeit fleeting] shot of Melanie hoovering in only her knickers!"

Written by Kevin Wade, whose realistic cop TV show Blue Bloods is well reviewed
