Viewed with 20/20 hindsight, all of history appears inevitable simply because it went to the trouble of happening. More than four decades after it defied skeptics, entertained millions, and hit the No. 2 spot on the list of top-grossing 1980 movies, green-lighting “9 to 5” might now appear to be one of those surefire, no-brainer decisions made by Hollywood brass with absolute certainty of striking box-office gold.
Parton had never acted before and hesitated to accept Fonda’s offer of a starring role only because she worried how her country-music fans might react to her appearing opposite “such a radical girl.” After the script finally was completed, Tomlin thought too many scenes were too “silly,” and briefly bailed from the production. She changed her mind, at the very strong encouragement of her partner, Jane Wagner.
Your enjoyment of “Still Working From 9 to 5” likely will depend on your regard for “9 to 5,” which received mixed notices during its initial theatrical release. But there’s more to the documentary than mere nostalgia.
The most jarring moment in “Still Working 9 to 5”: An appearance by Harvey Weinstein, one of the musical’s investors and producers, in archival footage where he cheerfully describes the show as “about women’s emancipation,” adding, ”I know that everybody in my company wants to kill me. And they’ve all bought multiple tickets. This show can survive just on my company.” No, really: That’s what he says.
