9 to 5 15
Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton stars in this classic feminist comedy that was decades ahead of its time. Three women who, sick of their egotistical, sexist manager, seek to change their all-female workplace for good. Judy (Fonda), Violet (Tomlin) and Doralee (Parton) couldn’t be more different from each other, but they bond over being mistreated by their boss (Dabney Coleman); who yells at Judy on her first day, consistently takes credit for Violet’s ideas and sexually harasses Doralee. Fed up with him and with the generally chauvinistic practices of their offices, they dream of getting rid of him.
9 to 5 celebrates the power of female friendship whilst tackling issues that almost 40 years later are finally being taken seriously.
