Tootsie (The Criterion Collection)

In Tootsie, Michael Dorsey lands the role of a lifetime - as did the actor playing him, Dustin Hoffman. This multi-layered comedy from Sydney Pollack follows the elaborate deception of a down-on-his-luck New York actor who poses as a woman to get a soap opera gig; while Dorothy Michaels skyrockets to fame, Michael finds himself learning to be a better man. Given support by a stellar cast that includes Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Teri Garr, George Gaynes, Bill Murray, and, in a breakthrough role, Jessica Lange, Tootsie is a funny, cutting, and poignant film from an American moment defined by shifting social and sexual identities.Special Features:New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackAudio commentary featuring director Sydney PollackNew interviews with actor Dustin Hoffman and comedy writer Phil RosenthalInterview with Dorothy Michaels by film critic Gene ShalitThe Making of Tootsie (1982) and A Better Man: The Making of Tootsie (2007) - two documentaries
