Tootsie is a 1982 American satirical romantic comedy film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Dustin Hoffman. Tootsie was a major critical and financial success, the second most profitable film of 1982, and was nominated for ten Academy Awards including Best Picture. Lange was the only winner, for Best Supporting Actress. Michael Dorsey is a respected actor, but nobody in New York City wants to hire him because he is a perfectionist and difficult to work with. When Sandy catches Michael in her bedroom half undressed because he wants to try on her clothes for ideas for Dorothy’s wardrobe, he covers up by claiming he wants to have sex with her. Sandy is receptive and they sleep together.

Exacerbating matters further, he is attracted to one of his co-stars, Julie Nichols, a single mother in an unhealthy relationship with the show’s amoral, sexist director, Ron Carlisle. Meanwhile, Dorothy has her own admirers to contend with: older cast member John Van Horn and Julie’s widowed father, Les. Les proposes marriage, insisting that Dorothy think about it before answering. When Michael returns home, he finds John, who almost forces himself on Dorothy until Jeff walks in on them. A few minutes later, Sandy arrives, asking why he has not answered her calls.

Michael admits he is in love with another woman, and Sandy screams and breaks up with him. The tipping point comes when, due to Dorothy’s popularity, the show’s producers want to extend her contract for another year. Michael extricates himself when a technical problem forces the cast to perform live, by improvising a revelation about Emily: that she is actually Edward, Emily’s twin brother who took her place to avenge her. Some weeks later, Michael is moving forward with producing Jeff’s play. He returns Les’s engagement ring, and Les says, “The only reason you’re still living is because I never kissed you. Despite his anger, Les admits that Michael was good company as Dorothy, and Michael buys him a beer.
