1982 Movie
Out of catalog
Dir. Sydney Pollack · United States of America · English
What do you get when you cross a hopelessly straight starving actor with a dynamite red sequined dress? You get America's hottest new actress.
When struggling, out of work actor Michael Dorsey secretly adopts a female alter ego – Dorothy Michaels – in order to land a part in a daytime drama, he unwittingly becomes a feminist icon and ends up in a romantic pickle.
"[Tootsie] has what the best screwball comedies had: a Can-you-top-this? quality."
— Pauline Kael
"Remarkably funny and entirely convincing..."
— Todd McCarthy
