Line 6:
** [[Diagonal Billing]]: [[Harrison Ford]], the biggest star, takes the upper-left billing slot on the box art and film posters while lead Melanie Griffith takes the lower but center position. As a star name but supporting character to both, Sigourney Weaver is on the same billing plane as Ford, above Griffith, but on their right.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: A very borderline example of this trope. When Tess and Katharine first meet, Tess has just celebrated her 30th birthday a few days earlier, while Katharine is turning 30 the following week. Melanie Griffith was actually 30 at the time of filming, but [[Sigourney Weaver]] was 38, and her character looks, sounds, and acts substantially older than Griffith's. [[Fridge Brilliance|Of course, given Katharine's incredible vanity, she could very well be lying about her age.]]
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Several!
** FBI Director Larry Moss, from Season 7 of ''[[24]]'', in which he was Renee Walker's boss, is also a guest at Tess's birthday party.
Line 24 ⟶ 15:
* '''Certified Crowning Music Of Awesome''': Carly Simon won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, ''and'' a Grammy for "Let the River Run". At the time it was the only song ever to win all three awards. As of 2011, the only other song to achieve this was "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen.
* '''The [[Actor Swap]] Is Coming...''': [[Harrison Ford]] and Alec Baldwin are the two male leads in this film. Less than three and a half years after ''[[Working Girl]]'', both actors had played CIA analyst Jack Ryan in separate adaptations of Tom Clancy novels.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: For Melanie Griffith.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** [[Meryl Streep]], Robin Duke, Ellen Barkin, Kim Basinger, Catherine O'Hara, Kathleen Turner, Cher, Goldie Hawn, Whoopi Goldberg, Debra Winger, and Shelley Long were considered for the role of Katherine.
** Michelle Pfeiffer, [[Brooke Shields]], Geena Davis, Carrie Fisher and Lorraine Bracco were considered for the role of Tess.
