Where: MATCH (3400 Main St, Houston, TX 77002)
9 TO 5 is an office screwball comedy about three female secretaries who are tormented and disrespected by their tyrannical, sexist boss. While smoking pot one night, the trio hatches a plan to take revenge on the boss. After managing to trap him in his own house, they assume control of his department, and productivity leaps, but just how long can they keep him tied up?
Jane Fonda was inspired to produce 9 TO 5 by the true story of the 9 to 5 labor movement, which started with a group of Boston secretaries in the 1970s who organized for better pay, more advancement opportunities, and an end to sexual harassment. Fonda wanted to make a film that promoted the workers’ cause, while also being funny and entertaining.
