This 80s rom com shows Harrison Ford's funny side as a dashing romantic lead.
Harrison Ford’s cinematic career reached new heights in the 1980s, where he delivered memorable performances as Indiana Jones, Han Solo, and Rick Deckard. But amidst these era-defining movies, Ford also starred in a less well-known romantic comedy alongside Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver. Working Girl foregrounds the lovable and comedic side to Ford that we only catch glimpses of in his other major appearances of the decade.
Jack immediately stands out from Tess’ lingerie obsessed cheating ex-boyfriend whom we meet at the start of the movie. Instead, Jack truly appreciates Tess’ business acumen in addition to her looks, where Tess remarks that he is the first man to truly appreciate what she has to offer. Ford is perfect for the role of gentlemanly male lead here, where many of his best performances typically embody an old-fashioned respectability and charm.
In one of the movie’s most memorable scenes, Jack is shown to be changing into a clean white shirt in his office whilst making a call to Tess. His large corner office features a glass wall, allowing the rest of the employee pool to look in and admire his tanned torso, resulting in a round of applause from his secretarial team. This comedic moment subtly tips the balance of power back into the hands of women, and away from the men who belittle and undermine Tess throughout the film.
The drama culminates in a final meeting with Trask, at which point Katharine makes a dramatic entrance and accuses Tess of stealing her identity. For a moment, Jack takes on the appearance of a wounded puppy, and it is unclear whose side he will take. But given the choice between joining Katharine in the elevator or remaining by Tess’ side, he boldly chooses the latter.
