I worked in a theater in Cleveland, where this movie showed. We screened it in the big theater (575 seats). I would go in to see all the best lines, because the entire auditorium would explode with laughter, at least 25 times in this film. And everyone was smiling as they walked out. Sydney, Jessica and Dustin really pulled it off. And what a supporting cast!!! One of Bill Murray's best and most understated rolls.

This actually happened before filming. Dustin Hoffman wanted to see if "she" could really pull it off as a woman. So he called Jon Voight, his co star in Midnight Cowboy and asked him to take his "aunt" who was a "big fan" to dinner. Jon Voight agreed and took the "aunt" to dinner. It was, of course, Dustin Hoffman being Tootsie. He never guessed. Really thought it was Dustin Hoffman's aunt. Test passed, they started to film. By the way, Dustin worked a whole year on the film before he was happy with the script and everything. He is a perfectionist.

The brilliance of this film was how the jokes just fell right into place. They don't sound like rehearsed punch lines. So many subtle funny moments in this scene alone. "So Rude." "You are the best director...sorry, producer..." "I'm not gonna make fun of you." It's hilarious. I never knew Dustin Hoffman could be so naturally funny. I hate to sound like an old person, but "they don't make 'em like this anymore."

We showed this at the Century 22 in San Jose--1000 seats. Sold out all summer. You could hear the roars of laughter coming into the lobby. Such a great movie. A couple of us were out to lunch one day and we started quoting lines... by the end of lunch, we'd pretty much quoted the entire movie. So much fun.

❤чудесный фильм ❤я смотрела его в первый раз в детстве, по телевизору, и сначала вообще не поняла, что мне показывают мужчину, преобразившегося в женщину. Как женщина хочу заметить, что из D.H. получилась очень привлекательная, ухоженная женщина. Мне иногда бывает лень заводить будильник на один час раньше, чтобы сделать макияж и причёску 🤦♀️😂, а он даже об украшениях позаботился. Я много раз смотрела этот фильм, но только сейчас заметила браслет на его руке.

Still trying to figure out how Dustin Hoffman missed a Best Actor (or Actress) award that year. He was superb, and TOOTSIE is still one of my all-time favorite movies--and AFI named it the 2nd funniest movie ever made. (#1 on their list is SOME LIKE IT HOT--about men dressing up as women--hm, a theme here, you think?)
