Mine, too. I went to the movie to see Harrison Ford but left the theater in awe of the ensemble cast. With Working Girl and Something Wild, Melanie Griffith proved that she wasn't only Tippi Hedren's daughter. Brava!🎭
I liked the Carly Simon soundtrack. I found some old photos of myself from the 80s and yes, we did wear big glasses, frizzy permanents, garish makeup, and huge shoulder pads like in the movie. Melanie Griffith was so naturally pretty back then.
Beautiful indeed. Her hair in this movie is so consistently stunning. It's a shame she didn't go from this movie and make more around the same era, like Meg Ryan.
Ok so I’ve seen this movie a thousand times and I never thought of this as a Cinderella type story but a few days ago I was reading an old news article online about the movie “Maid in Manhattan” with Jennifer Lopez now that movie is definitely a Cinderella type story anyway Jennifer said that the movie was inspired by “Working Girl” and Harrison Ford said that when he did the movie he thought it was like the story and now that I think about it it really is based on the classic fairy tale we all know and love. I mean think about it the elements are already there, Melanie Griffith is Cinderella, Harrison Ford is Prince Charming, Sigourney Weaver is the Wicked Stepsister and Joan Cusack is the Fairy Godmother . But that’s just my opinion, what about y’all did it ever occur to you that “Working Girl” might possibly be based on the “Cinderella” fairy tale or do you think it’s just another classic 80s Romantic Comedy-Drama?
believe it or not, i watched this movie for the first time today. a lot of the scenes from the trailer didn't make it into the movie! now i wanna see a director's cut or something lol
We desperately need an extended cut released of this classic! I just NEED to see this scene ( 1:28 1:33 ) between Griffith and Cusack that has been scrubbed from the currently available cut! 20th century studios PLEASE answer for this!
Love this movie. Working girl wasn’t about prostitution. Why do they say working girl means that? Ignorant. She believed in herself and didn’t follow the crowd.
I'm with you. I am English and when I saw the title, I immediately thought of prostitution. Then I read the synopsis and realised it was about a woman trying to be taken seriously in her workplace.
same! came here to say this! there are at least two scenes in this trailer that arent featured in the version I just watched on Hulu… who has answers?? 20th century fox needs to release a directors cut or something!
They used a bunch of great music in this movie. Great story, fast paced, had its emotions, great direction, beautiful acting and more... Of course, the iconic opening credits scene is not to be forgotten. Just a beautiful film that you do not wanna miss! "You know, maybe I just don't like you." "Me? Nah!" *Oct 10, 2023*
I knew about this film but I had not seen it and I am a romantic and classic film buff today I saw this film and it is a beautiful gem of cinema great work by Mike Nichols with the great actors Harrison Ford Sigourney Weaver Joan Cusack Alec Baldwin but above all Melanie Griffith, what a beautiful woman, so full of love and courage to move forward, the music, the scenes, wow, unfortunately, and I say this truly, at the 1989 Oscars there were films that had guaranteed awards, but this gem doesn't need any awards to be one of the best. cinema movies 🎥
Well, now none of you need to watch the movie, that was pretty much the whole story from start to finish... I guess trailers that reveal too much has been a thing since forever.
No one listen to this comment. The movie is absolutely amazing , don't miss it. Even if the trailer gives the whole movie it doesn't change how you feel while watching it. I saw the trailer as soon as the movie was starting cause i wanted to know if i wad gonna waste my time and you know what? Not only it didn't matter if the trailer showed it all (which it didnt) but im planning to watch this movie many more times. It gives you courage, confidence and a sense of class.....don't miss this amazing movie!!!
I am watching it now, and having a break to read the comments. It is not thrilling and a bit plod along, but I am enjoying the 80s hair, clothes and remembering how it was. Also no mobile phones or internet.
To this day I remember where I was when I first saw this movie. It will always be one of my favorites. I don’t know why. 80’s movies were so much better. It’s all gone now. Just trash. I miss the 80’s 😩
A whole bunch of really good movies came out in the late '80s and early '90s. This one, When Harry Met Sally, Sister Act, City Slickers, Field Of Dreams, etc. All much better than most of what's been released in the 30ish years since then.
Obviously Censorship of 1980s is worth it , because Storm Front came out 3 years later. And Mike Nichols EXCELLENT director. LIKE John Hughes. And Ramis. ( r.i.p.)
if you are a working woman trying to get the career you want, WATCH THIS MOVIE with a few martinis. it's great, you'll thank me later. plus, GADDAMN, HARRISON FORD IS HOT. as always.

Just watched Desperado with Antonio Banderas now I'm watching this with Melanie. Nostalgia day. Anyway I just Googled Melanie Griffith and you know how they show pics. There's one she's standing with her daughter Dakota wearing some evening dress all opened chested, or breasted, exposing all down to her naval! Ugh, might as well just stand naked. And Melanie, well, I didn't even recognize her. She's got the whole atypical Hollywood plastic botox lipped ironed down hair plastic thing going on. 🙄 I guess there are some men who like all that but most I know love having something left to the imagination.
0:27 very funny! Even a bad character doesnt like harrasment, althought the guy was sexy. The people were much better(in values and behaviour) , prettier and healthier back on those days.
Such a cool movie 60'$ hair up state New York ..quirky lil romantically dynamic business fun..finding a lil different places..melody griffin..sexy lady
The glorification of being desperate to work for greedy companies who damage the world and an ungrateful boss who would replace you at the click of a finger for far too many hours for crap wages that this movie portrays looks at a lot like corporate propaganda from a dodgy car salesman, this movie is cringe. You are worth more than that.
For some reason she just doesn't look right for the part. Sigurney Weaver looks tough and smart but Melanie... A pretty woman with kind eyes, but hardly a business woman...
I just wanted to say that the Lord Jesus Christ loves you very much and died on the cross at Calvary for you. If you want to know more about what Jesus did for you and how you can know him as your savior I suggested he go to the website of Gabe the Street Preacher and listen to one of his sermons he would tell you how to know Jesus
