Working Girl

Working Girl (1988) starring Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, Melanie Griffith, Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack. Directed by Mike Nichols. Although Griffith is listed third in the credits, this is her movie. She stars as Tess McGill, a New York secretary who has the ambition (and the intelligence) to want to be  more. She hooks up with Jack Trainer (Ford) to make a business deal she has cooked up, and falls in love with him at the same time. Weaver has a sly time playing the villain, Katharine Parker, an executive who tries to steal her secretary's idea. Music by Carly Simon, featuring Oscar-winning song "Let the River Run." This movie is truly a great entertainment, and really evokes the feeling of the '80s. (Subtitles in English are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B+
