Critically acclaimed cross-dressing comedy with a wonderfully exuberant performance from Dustin Hoffman
Pollack's easy-going, gender-bending comedy seems to have grown in stature and reputation with age, and it is not difficult to see why. Given the crudities and complexities of modern Hollywood comedies, it is perhaps understandable that a simple idea executed with such skill and charm is so warmly remembered. Hoffman puts in a sterling performance as actor Michael Dorsey who is so desperate for work that he transforms himself into Dorothy Michaels, and becomes a soap queen, despite falling for his co-star Julie Nichols (Lange). Lange won an Oscar for her role, but she is only part of a terrific supporting cast. |
