Product Description
In TOOTSIE, the character Michael Dorsey lands the role of a lifetime as does the actor playing him, Dustin Hoffman. This multilayered comedy from director Sydney Pollack follows the increasingly elaborate deception of a down-on-his-luck New York actor who disguises himself as a woman to get a coveted soap opera gig: while his female persona skyrockets to fame, he finds himself learning to be a better man. Hoffman's ball-busting yet disarmingly sweet Dorothy Michaels is a sensational comic creation, given support by a stellar cast including Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Teri Garr, George Gaynes, Bill Murray, and, in her first Oscar-winning role, Jessica Lange. Imbued with poignant drama, TOOTSIE is a funny and cutting film from an American moment defined by shifting social and sexual identities.

Oh sure, we’re expecting a comedy. But the origin of our laughs is discovered in more unlikely places than under the wig and girdle. What is quite miraculous about Tootsie – especially for someone who has seen the movie now more than twenty times – is Hoffman’s ability to so completely immerse us in his character and his alter ego that somewhere along the way we can still forget this is Hoffman playing a part. George Masters’ impressive makeup can only go so far. The rest of the assimilation from man into woman comes entirely from within Hoffman’s ability to get inside Dorothy Michaels; to transfer the best elements of his presence as a star and as an actor into this curious ‘looking glass’ sense of self re-conceptualized as an unattractive female that most men would find threatening to their own fragile impressions of masculinity.
Indeed, Tootsie aims at loftier ambitions; its social critique of men judging women as sex objects fueled by Hoffman’s inspiring and proactive ‘take charge’ gal with an agenda. At increments the screenplay touches upon issues of gender inequality, mixed messages emanating between the sexes, a near rape situation, transgender confusion and transsexualism; hardly expected fodder from a frothy romantic/comedy. Some thirty plus years after its debut, Tootsie’s social critique remains fresh and as plainly astute as ever. It really is difficult to critique a film as well-rounded as Tootsie. It's as real and as perfect as movies get; an embarrassment of riches: heart, class and something meaningful to say. Comedies tend to date. But Tootsie remains the gold star standard bearer by which most any other before or since can be judged.
Sony Home Entertainment continues its rather frustrating trend of releasing some of its finest movies in hi-def only overseas. The Blu-ray marginally bests Sony’s North American 25th Anniversary on DVD but it’s hardly perfect and that’s a shame. At some level, the 1080p transfer is at the mercy of less than stellar existing elements. The color, processed at MGM’s labs, falters throughout this presentation. While some scenes look remarkably vibrant and exhibit very fine tonality, contrast and a good solid smattering of film grain, others appear with wan colors, heavy grain and even a visible age-related artifact or two. Montages suffer from weak contrast brought on by inferior optical printing methods back then. Sony could have gone back to the drawing board and spent its money correctly on cleaning up and stabilizing these sequences so that they more seamlessly blend with the rest of the movie. They haven’t and frankly, it stinks! The 5.1 DTS audio is a vast improvement over the Dolby Digital tracks on the 25th Anniversary DVD. Occasionally, however, dialogue sounds ever so slightly muffled.
Sony’s import jettisons its 25th anniversary DVD audio commentary but retains the ‘making of’ documentary that offers some fascinating insight from Hoffman and other principle cast and crew. If you don’t already own Tootsie then this Blu-ray is the way to go. It’s not a reference quality disc, but the movie alone comes very highly recommended. Tootsie is a seminal comedy to be enjoyed and reviewed over and over again.
But in the end, that is the subject Tootsie takes on: how men treated and viewed women in the 80s. Having it reflected to a man (Michael/Tootsie/Dustin Hoffman), you see those things, you feel for women, and you come away seeing how he becomes a better man. Tootsie does drag a bit at first - the 80s pacing - but as it comes around and Michael begins to live in Tootsie's world, things pick up. So in the end it is an entertaining piece with a message that plays well here. Glad I finally tried it out.
