Film Description

When theatrical mastermind Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) finds himself blacklisted by just about every producer in the acting business, he decides to thwart the entertainment industry by disguising himself as an older woman and auditioning for a daytime soap opera. Dorsey arrives for the audition in a dress and makeup. Calling himself Dorothy Michaels, he/she gives an astonishing screen test and is hired on the spot by the show's executive. Dorsey is an overnight sensation with the show's fans, but as his secret career escalates, his relationship with his girlfriend suffers. Soon Dorsey finds a new romantic interest at work with his co-star, Julie. The only problem is, Julie thinks Dorsey is a woman and it's not long before she's trying to fix up Dorothy with her single father.

This is a rich, funny, complex film, whose boldness exposes movie-goers to the challenges faced by a modern cross-dresser. Supporting players Geena Davis and Bill Murray create plenty of comedy relief to help the plot along.
