"If you ever say another word about me or make another indecent proposal, I'm gonna get that gun of mine... And I'm gonna change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot!"-Dolly Parton as Doralee

Just as funny today as it was in 1980, 9 to 5 is a hilarious showcase for Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and someone named Dolly Parton making their film debut.

Dolly's Oscar nominated Title Song welcomes us to montage of office life in the opening year of the eighties. Think shoulder pads, pantyhose, high heels and a whole lot of good old boys running the show.

What the film gets 100% right is it's enjoyable satire of the way things use to be, loaded with some sterling comeuppance in the final act.

Jane Fonda is Judy Bernly, arriving at the office on her first day on the job.

She's been thrust into the workplace by a recent unexpected divorce, after many years at home.

She meets Violet, perfectly embodied by the unique and brilliant Lily Tomlin in one of her best film roles.

Violet helps Judy avoid the landmines, most of which were planted by office manager Roz (Elizabeth Wilson from "The Graduate" and "Quiz Show").

Roz rules with an iron fist, constantly sucking up to the big boss, Franklin Hart Jr. Dabney Coleman (Tootsie, War Games) is a wild man as Hart, spending most of his energy trying in vain to bed his vivacious secretary, Doralee (Parton).

Writer/Director Colin Higgins created some hugely enjoyable box office hits in this era, including "Foul Play" with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn. He also wrote "Harold and Maude" and "Silver Streak". This film continued his hot streak.

As our three women become friends, they begin to fantasize about murdering their boss.

Higgins manages to show us each of their fantasies, amped up by the joint they are casually passing around. It's a great scene and tees up the madcap comedy of the film's second act, in which the women kidnap Hart after a freak accident and hold him up in his own house while his wife is halfway around the globe.

These ladies can do slapstick! Coleman joins them for some of the best physical comedy of his career. A garage opener has never been used so creatively.

Film legend Sterling Hayden (Dr. Strangelove, The Godfather) makes a grand entrance in the finale to tie everything up with a bow. He's the Chairman of the Board and his take on everything happening at the office serves up a priceless final act.

Some comedy is timeless and it's great to see Fonda and Tomlin spar so brilliantly 35 years before they reunited with "Grace and Frankie". Tomlin's film legacy is spotty, only because it was hard to find film vehicles worthy of her unique talents. When the movies elevated to meet her, like Altman's "Nashville", Carl Reiner's "All of Me" or Higgins "9 to 5", they stand tall. She's a comic genius.

It's fun to see Dolly in her film debut. She is, at first, a tad reserved and shy, but by film's end, she is clearly having just a good time as we are.

I really enjoyed seeing the Original Broadway Cast when Dolly adapted the film as a new Broadway musical in 2009. Allison Janney, Stephanie J. Block, Megan Hilty, and Marc Kudisch were all well cast as Violet, Judy, Doralee and Hart and it was a hell of a lot of fun. Dolly wrote all the music and lyrics based on the original film.

In 1980, this was the first female-centric film to crack the $100 million mark at the box office!

It's impossible not to have fun when a cast is this good and clearly enjoying what they're doing. Fonda enjoyed working with Coleman so much that she lobbied for his casting as her new husband in "On Golden Pond" the following year.

Listed at 74 on AFI's list of 100 greatest American comedies, 9 to 5 holds up beautifully.

Looking for some big laughs? Go ahead, punch the timeclock and revisit this comedy blockbuster.

Recalling the zany screwball comedies of the 30s and 40's in its 80's take on sexism,it gets an A.

Check out this goofy trailer that shows very little of the actual film!
