In Tootsie, Michael Dorsey lands the role of a lifetime—as did the actor playing him, Dustin Hoffman. This multilayered comedy from director Sydney Pollack follows the elaborate deception of a down-on-his-luck New York actor who poses as a woman to get a soap opera gig; while “Dorothy Michaels” skyrockets to fame, Michael finds himself learning to be a better man. Given support by a stellar cast that includes Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Teri Garr, George Gaynes, Bill Murray, and, in a breakthrough, Oscar-winning performance, Jessica Lange, Tootsie is a funny, cutting, and poignant film (nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Screenplay) from an American moment defined by shifting social and sexual identities. (Dir. by Sydney Pollack, 1982, USA, 116 mins., Rated PG)
