Tootsie starring Dustin Hoffman,
Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Dabney
Coleman, Charles Durning
Great
TOOTSIE is now well and truly over 25 years old, but still remains as fresh
and funny as it was when it first premiered. A real joy. Dustin Hoffman,
Jessica Lange, Bill Murray and Teri Garr star in this keenly observed
Sydney Pollack gem with a genuine New York showbusiness background.
Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is New York's most untouchable,
unemployable actor. No one in the business is prepared to work with him,
and he's reduced to operating as an acting coach for others who can't
seem to land a break in the industry, including painfully awkward Sandy
(Teri Garr). Finally, in a last-ditch bid to find a role - any role - Michael
frocks up as "Dorothy Michaels" and lands a job on top-rating TV soap
"Southwest General".
Playing the no-nonsense chief of staff Emily Kimberley, "Dorothy" wins
thousands of female fans all over the country. But when Michael starts
falling in love with co-star Julie Nichols (Jessica Lange) - who has well and
truly taken the endearing "Dorothy" to heart as her best friend - how on
earth will Michael reveal himself without destroying his/her trust
relationship with Julie in the process?...
TOOTSIE is one of those rare films I could sit through several times a
week and never get bored with. This is mainly due to the incredible
performances but props must also be given to the outstanding screenplay
from Larry Gelbart and Murray Schisgal. Dustin Hoffman is so good at
playing altar-ego "Dorothy" that I STILL sometimes forget that it's not an
actual woman!
Composer Dave Grusin and songwriters Alan & Marilyn Bergman supplied
the Oscar-nominated soundtrack ("Tootsie", "It Might Be You"); Sydney
Pollack has a cameo role as Michael's agent. Also keep your eyes peeled
for small appearances from Christine Ebersole, Estelle Getty and Geena
Davis.
My highest recommendation.
