Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThough Tess is unquestionably the sole lead character, actress Melanie Griffith is billed third in the credits, after Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver who have supporting roles in the movie. Griffith had received critical acclaim for earlier performances in Der Tod kommt zweimal (1984) and Gefährliche Freundin (1986), but those films barely made a dent at the box office and she was still largely unknown when Die Waffen der Frauen (1988) was made in 1988. 20th Century Fox wanted a big name actress to play Tess, but Mike Nichols pushed for Griffith until the studio ultimately gave in.
- PatzerIt was made clear that Katharine and Jack had a long-term relationship before Tess came on the scene, and yet Jack failed to recognize Katharine's office when he went to visit Tess when she was putting on her act as a broker. Katharine has only just moved to New York from Boston. This is evidenced by what the recruiter says to Tess: 'transferring down from Boston, name of Parker,' as well as the fact that Katharine does not yet have a place to live (she tells Tess on the phone from the hospital that she's staying at her parents' house and her voice on the Dictaphone makes reference to her looking for a place of her own), and says to Tess of her and Jack: 'We're living in the same city now' which implies this is a new development. It is therefore perfectly possible that, while Jack knows where Katharine works and knows that it is at the same place as Tess (and assumes that Katharine is Tess's colleague), he has never seen her office.

Ausgewählte Rezension
This is an example of how to make fun and interesting characters that you can empathize with. It's something that today's entertainment industry has mostly forgotten about.
The film is fun, and the cast is not bad. Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford are a great combination. This is a true product of its time and as such is superior to most of today's films.
From the beginning, you sympathize with Tess McGill because the character is well written and not irritating, and the story is well balanced, with different characters, good and bad and those in between.
Sigourney Weaver is excellent in the role of the villain, and Melanie Griffith is great as Tess McGill, a secretary who wants to succeed in the business world.
In this film, not all women are saints, but women of flesh and blood, with their flaws and with whom you can sympathize, and men are the same, different, some are bad some are good, just like in real life.
An interesting and fun story with a good cast.
