“Dorothy Arzner’s work is such an inspiring legacy to pass onto young filmmakers. Her work is so witty, irreverent, so full of unabashed spirit. WORKING GIRLS deliciously captures those bold, confident, pre-Code women taking matters into their own hands.” - Jodie Foster

We are proud to present this newly restored film from the “Directed by Dorothy Arzner” touring exhibition. One of America’s great directors, Arzner brought strong, unconventional women to the screen and earned a reputation for launching the careers of up-and-coming actresses: Katharine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell, and Lucille Ball were all cast by Arzner in their breakout roles.

“Directed by Dorothy Arzner” was conceived by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. With the cooperation of Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios the Archive has preserved Arzner’s six extant films for Paramount from nitrate projection prints or acetate positives. None of the original negatives has survived. Preservation of the films was made possible with generous support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Myra Reinhard Family Foundation, and Jodie Foster.
