The best part about this first scene is it is a real life argument between Pollock and Hoffman as much as it is about the characters. Apparently this criticism of Dorsey is exactly how Hoffman was perceived by many, including Pollack.

I agree with you. It was sort of Dustin Hoffman. They were alluding to. He was very difficult but I’ll tell you he was hotter than a pistol Hoffman. You figure did commercials in the late 5060s in the graduate Papillion midnight cowboy then here we are being 15 years old ride my bike and laughing my ass off on this movie can you guys believe it’s been 42 years And Hoffman blessed with good health cause he’s the same age as politics passed away almost 16 years ago man oh man, what a funny movie this was classic but I’ll tell you it’s even funnier when he dress up as a girl and he sits next to Pollock in the restaurant that was.comGenius But can I say one last thing there’s no way in hell Jessica Lang deserved nomination for a simple role. She was in the movie for four minutes and all she did was just so have empathy and she was so quiet how she won an Oscar is mind blowing mind blowing, but I’ll tell you hopefully Hoffman took a small amount of money and got a nice five or six points because this was the highest grossing movie of the year besides, I think ET , walked away with $20 million

This film is OLD. These days she'd be a woman if s/he identifies "as a woman". Therefore he's a woman and thus a "she." She's a woman with a penis.

Sydney Pollack directed Tootsie and did not want to act in the film at all. Hoffman begged him to be the agent role, and sent him roses asking him too. Their chemistry and writing was sublime!

Not only is Sidney Pollack a phenomenal director, but he is also a phenomenal actor, and this scene is what I remember the most about this movie.

I miss Sydney being in the world. Everyone who worked with him loved him. One of the maintenance guys from Warner Bros gushed over how kind he was, just interacting with him when he had to work on his office lighting. I saw this when it came out, as a teenager, and had been at a performing arts school, thinking about acting. I'm actually glad I didn't take that road. But it's fun to watch in a story like this. I worked with a secretary once, years later, who was the spitting image of Dorothy Michaels! It was hard not to giggle.

"We'll send the contracts over today, Ms. Michaels." F-ing A. That must have been gorgeous to hear.

One of my favorite Dustin Hoffman movies

When I saw the movie back then, I totally forgot the fact Dorothy was not a real woman. Dustin Hoffman is genius.

Tootsie was a great movie !

Pollock was great in this scene. Not easy to produce a real movie comedy. This is the way to do it.

The scene between Hoffman and Pollack is my favorite in the movie, one of my favorite scenes of all time, in fact. Superb acting, great writing, amazing chemistry--and hilarious! You're in stitches by the end of it.

Not only a great movie, also a fantastic soundtrack by Dave Grusin!

I had a good friend that looked like the guy off Mad Magazine. He could pull off a flawless Tootsie right down to the voice. He had a photo album of picture of Tootsie the only way I spotted him was there was no glass in the eye glass. We lost him 25 years ago I think of him every time I see Tootsie. Rest in Peace Tim.

Indeed. Now all we get are comic book and video game movies.

What’s great about the writing here is that that combativeness, that sticking up for “what’s right,” that makes Michael Dorsey so unhirable, is exactly the quality that he gets to put to his advantage in his portrayal as Dorothy Michaels.

Sydney Pollack is just HILARIOUS in this movie. "YOU WERE A TOMATO!!!!!" lmao

Es increíble cómo el texto es sobre being proud of being a woman, and he sincerely says it, saying it like a man!

I was 12 when this came out and it was insanely popular! Hoffman was a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination, but the Academy debated on rather he she should have been in the "Lead Actor" or "Lead Actress" category (I'm not joking).

I first viewed Tootsie, with a straight friend at his suggestion after seeing trailers. After he quoted so many funny lines from the movie. His take was it was a cleverly scripted and brilliant satire. We even went to view again and still he never disparaged the premise of the movie, the gender roles etc. For hims it was just a brilliant movie with lots of satire and irony, perhaps in 1982 it was pre "politically correct".

How do you feel about Cleveland?

I really love this movie. Why is it that in 1993, we got Robin William doing Mrs Doubtfire, yet before we had Toosie "in the 1980s", for which I am fine with both of these movies... we are now in 2024... YET it seems "Do not dare doing any actual movies to forward LGBT" to be accepted anything close to these type of film???

No! His character gets the part while dressed as a woman.

Help me out. Hoffman barges in on his agent, who's on the phone with the west coast. So it has to be late in the morning, NYC time, at least. Then, does he go and win the part that same afternoon? The producer says, "we'll send the contracts over this afternoon." So, when Hoffman meets his agent outside the Russian Tea Room, at lunch hour, it has to be the next day, right? My question is, how could the agent NOT KNOW that Hoffman got the part? The contracts were to be sent over the afternoon of the audition. You would think the agent would have been BLOWN AWAY that someone he represented had got a part on a national TV show!

In the 70's a comedian named Flip Wilson had a variety show, one of his most popular characters was a woman named Geraldine. So sure, TOOTSIE was where the "grooming" started.🙄😒
