DESCRIPTION
A bright Wall Street secretary rises to a professional position by posing as her classy but treacherous boss. Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: R Release Date: 6-SEP-2005 Media Type: DVD
Melanie Griffith had a fling with stardom in this Mike Nichols comedy about an executive secretary Griffith who can't get her deserved shot at upward mobility in the brokerage industry. Hardly taken seriously by male bosses, things aren't really any better for her once she starts working for a female exec Sigourney Weaver, never more delightful, a narcissist with a boy-toy banker Harrison Ford and a tendency to steal the best ideas from her underlings. When Weaver's character is laid up with a broken leg, Griffith poses as a replacement wheeler-dealer, flirting with Ford and working on a new client who doesn't suspect the deception. Nichols brings a lot of snap and sass to Kevin Wade's smart script about chafing against class restrictions and perceptions. Sundry scenes are played quite charmingly, especially those of Griffith and Ford's mutual pickup in a bar and Joan Cusack's championing of Griffith's crusade. Nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actress Griffith, and two Supporting Actress awards Weaver, Cusack; Carly Simon's song "Let the River Run" won the Oscar. --Tom Keogh
