Dustin Hoffman delivers one of his best-known performances here as Michael Dorsey - an actor whose “difficult” reputation has led to him being blacklisted across town. In order to find work he hits on the scheme of posing as a woman, “Dorothy Michaels”, to land a role in a soap opera. To his surprise he becomes a massive hit - but having to carry on with the ruse creates all sorts of problems, not least falling for his female co-star who thinks he’s another woman. Hoffman has a ball as the sassy Dorothy in this sparkling comedy, which mixes camp laughs with witty dialogue and a smattering of social comment.
