In the workplace inspirational film in the 1980s, the heroine Tess has no education (5 years of evening school to get a bachelor's degree), older (30 years old), unwilling to be mediocre, and unwilling to be unspoken. She has a strong motivation and ambition. She met a female boss who was the same age as her (actually a few months younger) but was already successful in her career. She was even more motivated. She seized the opportunity and decided to take a gamble. She did not follow the rules and finally won the career. And love. The storyline is far-fetched, but the workplace rules embodied in the film are still very real:
1. Workplace dressing should be concise/elegant/appropriate, and the most taboo should be naked makeup and cheesy and cheap complicated jewelry
. 2. Newcomers should be dedicated to the company. It is recommended that step-by-step people will never be noticed.
3 The workplace is the most realistic. If you can break the rules and create value, you will naturally be appreciated by the boss, and your mistakes are likely to lead to elimination (the end of the heroine’s boss)

. And the clothing changes with the plot, from cheap/vulgar secretary wearing (cheap gold-plated bracelet, rustic smoky makeup, country big bob head silk sneakers, vulgar pattern black stockings) into professional elegant strong woman (retro round stud earrings, diamonds) Earrings, classic belt watches, exquisite suits, trench coats, brown briefcases), the film is also a living textbook on workplace dressing, and it still seems to be instructive.

Finally, like the theme song let the river run is great

    In the 1980s, women in the workplace were inspirational. Using a stand-in terrier, the heroine was still very beautiful from certain angles, especially with thin legs. It is also a great reference to study the fashionable dress in the 1980s. Harrison Ford is not handsome at all...

    Watching it now, the period features of the film are obvious. The heroine has her charm, but the logic of the story is comedy, and some plots and details are not too rich and complete.
