Tootsie (1982) is a beloved American comedy film that still captivates audiences to this day. Directed by Sydney Pollack and written by Larry Gelbart and Murray Schisgal, this movie boasts an exceptional cast and a timeless story. Released in 1982, Tootsie has become a classic and has earned its place in pop culture history.

The film follows the hilarious and heartwarming journey of Michael Dorsey, a struggling actor played by Dustin Hoffman. Frustrated by the lack of work and opportunities in his career, Michael decides to reinvent himself as Dorothy Michaels, a middle-aged woman. As Dorothy, he lands a role on a popular soap opera and becomes a sensation, navigating the complexities of gender identity, love, and friendship.

With its delicate balance of comedy and poignancy, Tootsie explores important themes and societal issues while providing laughter at every turn. The stellar cast brings the characters to life, creating memorable performances. Alongside Dustin Hoffman, the film stars Jessica Lange as Julie Nichols, the soap opera star who is unaware of Michael's true identity. Lange delivers a captivating performance, showcasing her talent as an actress.

The cast also includes Teri Garr as Sandy Lester, Michael's best friend and fellow actress. Garr brings depth and humor to her character, offering a genuine portrayal of friendship and loyalty. Bill Murray joins the cast as Jeff Slater, Michael's roommate and confidant. With his comedic timing and dry wit, Murray adds an extra layer of humor to the film.

Tootsie boasts an outstanding supporting cast as well. The gifted George Gaynes portrays John Van Horn, the lecherous soap opera director who becomes captivated by Dorothy. Dabney Coleman plays Ron Carlisle, the soap opera's ruthless producer whose manipulative nature is both amusing and frustrating. Sydney Pollack himself also takes on a role in the film, playing Michael's agent, George Fields.

Creating a world that is equal parts amusing and thought-provoking, Tootsie offers a fresh perspective on gender dynamics and societal expectations. Through Michael's transformation into Dorothy, the film challenges traditional gender roles and highlights the struggles faced by women in the entertainment industry.

Tootsie's success is also enhanced by its exceptional soundtrack, composed by Dave Grusin. The music captures the essence of the film, conveying the emotional depth of each scene. From tender moments to comedic chaos, the score enhances the mood and adds an extra layer to the storytelling. The soundtrack includes a variety of genres, including jazz, orchestral arrangements, and Broadway-inspired tunes. The film's main theme, "It Might Be You," performed by Stephen Bishop, became a beloved song and a hit on the charts.

A guy named Les wants to marry you?
And I think the American Indian is as American..
Bullshit, Ron!
But that actually happened
But to his family...
But you've already done everything filthy and disgusting on your show.
Cow?
Did you feel how much I hated you?
Do something. I can't be late my first day. Come on.
Does Jeff know?
Don't say he or she like you did last week when you were doing Kitty
Don't you tell that story.
Dorothy Michaels?
Fine.
Five, four, three...
Get him back. I cut myself off
Give it to me outside.
Good point. Let me talk to him. I'll call you.
Gotcha! Gotcha!
Great view, huh?
He and Injun Joe threw back a few too many.
He loves children. He really does.
Hi.
Hold it. That's good.
I can't blink for a week. Really.
I can't come out with soap in my eyes!
I didn't understand. I'm really sorry.
I don't take this shit from friends, only from lovers.
I don't want a full house at the Winter Garden Theatre.
I gotta get back to my life. You got lots of lawyers...
I have no place to go.
I have to be tough. He just wants my body.
I hope you enjoyed the chocolates.
I just did it for the work. I didn't mean to hurt anybody.
I just don't think you should worry about it.
I just don't want to get up too soon or I'll have another relapse.
I just love your daughter to pieces.
I knew there was a reason she didn't like me!
I know the kind of woman you are, Emily.
I know this is kind of quick, but that's how I am.
I never laid a hand on her.
I think it's really sad...
I want 90 people who just came out of the worst rainstorm in history
I will not forget. Okay, bye bye.
I will not.
I wonder if we're going to get any stars out of the sky tonight?
I'd just like you to come.
I'll pick you up at 10:00 and enrage you.
I'm gonna tell you the truth. Sandy...
I'm just afraid you'll burn in hell for this.
I've been trapped for half an hour.
If you say no, at least I'll feel you took me seriously.
Is Ron coming too?
It'll change theatre as we know it.
It's depression.
It's the same thing. I'm experiencing these feelings.
Jesus!
Lester.
Let's make it definite. Dinner tomorrow.
Married or not married.
Maybe I can just get a softer...
Maybe not happily, but honestly.
Maybe your contract has a morals clause.
Michael, he's tied up right now. I swear!
Michael.
Michael...
Missing you, Les.
My new answering machine is no good. I'll answer my own calls
No, I know what you mean.
No, you did it yourself.
Nothing's wrong, Michael. I'm really very up.
Of course, they were doing it for dough..
Oh, God!
Oh, no!
Our future ex tape editor spilled a bottle of celery tonic...
Paramount's interested. I'll know after the first.
Pardon me, is my acting interfering with your talking?
People got it all wrong.
Quit. Mama insisted.
Really?
Rick, get on the floor. That's why the tubes pulled out.
See, I just wanted to ask concerning the doctor...
Silly me, I already had dinner.
Sleep well.
So much for the mutual admiration society.
Still a little tension in the mouth
Stop packing.
Surprise!
Sweetheart?
Taxi!
Taxi! Taxi!
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
That is one nutty hospital.
That qualifies him to ruin Iceman? I can act circles around him.
That's good right there, Herbie.
That's him!
That's nice.
The part's the most important thing. But love sometimes is too
The point is, Sandy and I are raising $8,000 to do Jeff's play in Syracuse
There's no excuse for not working
This is a nightmare.
This is rage?
Turn around.
Twenty two and 23 come down to 18.
Wait, I'll be back. I got a present for you.
Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait a minute.
We're going to do it. You could do the same
We're gonna take a short break, people.
What kind of a party is this?
What?
What? What?
What's the matter with that?
When I came in, I thought you looked familiar.
Why?
Why'd you do it?
Yes, it wasn't logical.
Yes, of course
You can't come... Gregory, this woman...
You don't feel so good now, do you?
You just were what you were
You mean you have a good relationship.
You're a dear friend. But let's not pretend it was something else!
You're doing a Southern accent?
You're getting older. You don't have a man, so you want to act like one.
Brought you something. You didn't have to.
Did you rewrite the last scene? I did the necktie scene
How you doing? Michael. Patty.
I gotta get these back in order. They won't know the difference.
I think I'll put her down. Good.
I'm seeing a real nice woman now. Oh, really?
Let's dance. What?
No, I was just... I brought this sweater for you
No. You sure?
Oh, Jesus. It's quite all right.
Producer. Sorry. Producer...
Thank you. Thank you.
That is what you look like. It's not funny
Wait, what about the play? What about it?
What about those? For Sandy?
What? Followed me home? I didn't have the courage to phone you
Why didn't you have a good time? I did have a good time.
Yes, Miss... Kimberly.
...and instruct them to just zap him in his badubies.
...and we could do a lot of role playing, but the simple truth...
...because he's a big doctor, right?
...but the simple truth is, I find you very interesting...
...I could lay a big line on you...
...I just want to say I loved what you did in our scene. Welcome aboard!
...I think he has to stay in town and work.
...just because you're not that kind of girl.
...or masculine women are ugly
...saying this was a bell tower, I didn't say anything.
...so you can all be the same. Well, I'm sorry, but we're just not.
...that nothing happened here tonight.
...the daughter of Dwayne...
...to ruin my professional commitments.
