Comment
Melanie Griffiths is the secretary who impersonates her boss (Sigourney Weaver) who is out of the country and pulls off a big deal with Harrison Ford with whom she falls in love with. Her boss returns and discovers the deception. This is an entertaining and excellent send up of corporate America in the 1980's with good performances from Harrison Ford and Melanie Griffiths. Melanie Griffthis charcter sums up the aspirations of a secretary with abilities but constrained by the male corporate culture of the time. The film also benefits from a very good sound track, some crisp editing and sympathetic cinematography.

Quotes
I have a head for business and a body for sin
Never burn bridges. Today's junior prick, tomorrow's senior partner!
Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will.
The earth moved. The angels wept. The Polaroids are, are, uh... are in my other coat.
