For the May 1st International Workers Day instalment of our retro $5 Wednesday series we are bringing you an iconic workplace comedy classic - 9 TO 5!

'Three office workers – recently separated Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda), widowed mother-of-four Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin) and put-upon secretary Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton) – turn the tables on their egotistical, sexist, gaslighting VP Frank Hart (Dabney Coleman) when he passes Violet over for a promotion she has fairly earned (and deserves) and when he spreads an untrue rumour that he and the married Doralee are having an affair.'
