An uproarious and surprisingly emotional instant-classic hit. Dustin Hoffman plays a near-unemployable actor who disguises himself head-to-toe as a woman—and books a breakout gig on a daytime soap. Rich in knowing detail of the working (or not) lives and milieus of NYC actors, with a superb cast including Oscar-winning Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Geena Davis, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, George Gaynes, and a bring-down-the-house Bill Murray.
