Jane Fonda originally came up with the idea for a film about women office workers after speaking with clerical workers in Boston and Cleveland. When director Colin Higgins asked the women if they ever fantasized about getting even with their bosses, he later described their reaction as “opening a floodgate.” Their bizarre, funny stories reinforced the decision to make “9 to 5” a comedy.

In this witty satirical farce, secretaries Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and office manager Lily Tomlin live every female worker’s dream after discovering they share the same resentment towards their egotistical, sexist boss (Dabney Coleman). When they get an unexpected chance to take revenge, they turn their male controlled workplace into a model office – even as their scheme spins wildly out of control. Parton’s hit song received an Oscan nomination.
