But above that is the fact that the film centers around a rivalry between Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver that doesn’t devolve into a standard cat fight or argument over a man.
Rather, Griffith’s Tess fights Weaver’s Katharine on the common battlefield of business, and it’s a final confrontation well worth the watch.
In a world where we value shattering the glass ceiling in cinema, the story of Working Girl seems to be one that’s rather undersold.
Between a who’s who of talent you’ll remember by face alone, and Harrison Ford at his most charmingly comedic, the film deserves some recognition.
