Goofs:
Continuity: Just before the first time we see the garage door opener used on Mr. Hart (when Doralee is bringing his lunch in a green sweater), we see him walk into the bathroom looking for something - presumably a weapon. He is very clearly wearing pajama bottoms. When he walks out of the bathroom, he is very clearly wearing shorts (boxers?). He then breaks a leg off the TV tray, planning to hit Doralee with it. Much later in the movie, we see Hart walk into the bathroom - clearly wearing boxers/shorts - when he DOES find the nail file hidden in the drawer. Seems like there were two scenes shot, one in PJs and one in shorts, and they were incorrectly spliced together.

This has to be a true classic movie for anybody. Parton, Fonda, Tomlin play the three main characters set in a big business office block, "Consolidated". Dolly Parton is excellent, portraying the country girl, Jane Fonda as the divorced housewife's first job role, and Lily Tomlin as the bosses stepping stone. The film is full of one line crack jokes which can be missed on the first time you watch it. Do watch the movie a few times, and soon you'll pick up on how funny the lines are "Violet, did you get my Memo?", "I did Roz, I tore right through it".
Later in the film the plot is well underway and animation is combined successfully with Tomlin's scene of a Snow White type character!
I loved this film, and my laserdisc copy is always on the top of the pile. A good all rounder to be watched over and over, and I sometimes find myself using those punch lines.
Dolly Parton provides the "9 to 5" opening music, which sets the movie off to a good pace.
