Monday Afternoon @ the Movies: 9 to 5 (1980)

March celebrates Women’s History, Irish-American Heritage – and the Ides of March!

9 to 5 (1980) Getting even is a full-time job. Stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Dabney Coleman. Meet Franklin Hart (Coleman). The biggest “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” boss on the planet. Three working women – Violet (Tomlin), Doralee (Parton) and Judy (Fonda) – comprise comical methods of “doing him in,” when a freak incident occurs. They then manage to kidnap Hart and trap him in his own house, while assuming control of his department, and productivity leaps. But just how long can they keep him tied up?  Rated PG: 1 hour 49 minutes.
