Nine to Five

The film follows Violet, Judy, and Doralee, three employees who endure the daily abuse of their sexist and egotistical boss. After a series of injustices, they conspire to kidnap him and implement changes to improve their work environment. This premise combines slapstick humor with sharp social commentary on gender dynamics and corporate culture.

Directed by Colin Higgins, who also wrote the screenplay, Nine to Five was produced by IPC Films and 20th Century Fox. The casting of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton brought together major talents from film and music, each contributing a unique presence to their roles. Dabney Coleman plays the despised boss, delivering a performance that captures the character’s hypocrisy and arrogance.

The film was well received for its blend of humor and pointed critique of workplace sexism. It inspired a stage musical and helped solidify Dolly Parton's crossover appeal beyond her music career. Collectors often seek the film's physical releases to experience this blend of comedy and social message in a format that preserves the original theatrical presentation.

Nine to Five has been made available on various physical formats including VHS, DVD, and other editions. These releases allow collectors to appreciate the film's production design and performances in a tangible way. Its status as a cultural touchstone in feminist comedy makes it a significant title for collectors focused on films with social themes and strong female leads.
