Description

Five Lesbian Brothers (Maureen Angelos, Babs Davy, Dominique Dibbell, Peg Healey, Lisa Kron) Comedy-horror / 5f (with doubling) Something's rotten in Big Bone!

Pretty Patty Johnson is thrilled to join the secretarial pool at the Cooney Lumber Mill under the iron-fisted leadership of sultry office manager Susan Curtis.

But she soon begins to feel that all is not right-the enforced diet of Slim-Fast shakes, the strange clicking language between the girls, the monthly disappearance of a lumberjack.

By the time Patty discovers murder is part of these office killers' skill set, it's too late to turn back!

In the guise of satiric exploitation-horror, The Secretaries takes an unflinching look at the warping cultural expectations of femininity. "The Secretaries is a sustained, amusing look at the fine line between aggression and assertiveness." - The New Yorker "The Five Lesbian Brothers render their satirical portraits with a deft but merciless eye." -L.A.

Times "95 minutes of gritty, bawdy, bloody humor pregnant with incisive social commentary." -San Francisco Examiner "A mordantly cheerful slice of Grand Guignol." -New York Times
