Cinema Classics show with host Nick Solerno. In this episode the 1943 film Jane Eyre is shown. After the film is shown Nick Solerno interviews actor Dustin Hoffman and Sydney Pollack regarding the 1982 film Tootsie. This film's production took years longer than originally planned and the cost was also much higher than the original budget.
Dustin Hoffman is an incredibly talented actor and the film Tootsie showcases his talent. In this film Dustin Hoffman plays the role of Michael Dorsey who decides to dress and act as a woman named Dorothy Michaels in order to get the female lead role in a hospital soap opera show. Playing the roles of three separate characters in a singe film is quite a feat for any actor. Sydney Pollack is also interviewed and he gives his own opinion regarding actor Dustin Hoffman and the film in general. Sydney Pollack was not just the director of this film but he was also played the character George Fields in the film. The late actresses Marylin Monroe and Natalie Wood come up during the interview.
The late Nick Salerno was a Phoenix Arizona film critic. The KAET Cinema Classics show focused on classic films.
