Какой прекрасный, добрый, великолепный фильм!
Сколько его смотрю, все время смеюсь и плачу! Какой трогательный фильм!
В такие моменты я понимаю, как же я люблю хорошее кино.
Сидни Поллак снимал хорошие фильмы с легендарными актерами.
И хоть совместная работа с Дастином была у них напряженная, это не помешало создать им вместе его лучший фильм, на мой взгляд.

Оох, и еще я очень-очень люблю Дастина!
В этом фильме вообще замечательные актеры - милейшая Джессика Лэнг, Билл Мюррей, и все, все, все.



Чудесная музыка композитора Дэйва Грузина!
Я его имя часто встречаю в фильмах того периода.



[Dorothy Michaels' screen test]
Rita: I'd like to make her look a little more attractive, how far can you pull back?
Cameraman: How do you feel about Cleveland?
Rita: Knock it off.

Michael Dorsey: I don't believe in hell. I believe in UNEMPLOYMENT, but not hell.

Dorothy Michaels: Oh I know what y'all really want is some gross, caricature of a woman to prove some idiotic point
that power makes a woman masculine, or masculine women are ugly.
Well shame on you for letting a man do that, or any man that does that.
That means you, dear. Miss Marshall. Shame on you, you macho shit head.

Michael Dorsey: She thinks I'm gay, i told her about Julie and she thinks I'm gay!
George Fields: Julie thinks your gay?
Michael Dorsey: No, my friend Sandy.
George Fields: Sleep with her, and she'll...
Michael Dorsey: I slept with her once she's still thinks I'm gay!
George Fields: Oh... thats no good, Michael.

читать дальшеThough the working title for the film was originally "Would I Lie to You?", Dustin Hoffman suggested the title "Tootsie." Tootsie was the name of his mother's dog.

While being profiled for "The Directors" series, Sydney Pollack claimed that Dustin Hoffman refused to continue working on the film unless Pollack played his agent.
Pollack refused up until Hoffman's agent Michael Ovitz intervened and Pollack reconsidered.
He later agreed to play the role. The scenes featuring Hoffman's and Pollack's characters were meant to reflect
what happened behind the scenes between the two when they would argue.
In fact, Hoffman and Pollack quarreled so furiously during filming that they never did another film together;
while they did discuss mending fences in order to work on Rain Man, ultimately Pollack declined the director's spot for that film, leading to the hiring of Barry Levinson.

According to Dustin Hoffman, he wanted Bill Murray to play his friend while director Sydney Pollack disagreed.

Bill Murray agreed to omit his name from the opening credits to prevent audiences expecting a "Bill Murray" movie along the lines of Фрикадельки or Caddyshack.

All of Bill Murray's lines were improvised.

Geena Davis's film debut.

The character of Dorothy originally did not speak with a Southern accent,
but in doing research Dustin Hoffman discovered his voice fell more closely into the range of female pitch while doing the accent.

Well known transvestite actor Holly Woodlawn was hired by the producers of Tootsie to coach actor Dustin Hoffman
in his role as 'Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels' in the intricate art of being a man acting as a woman in films as he prepared for this role.

The crew would only give bad news to Dustin Hoffman if he was in drag. They said he was "much nicer as a woman".

Writer Larry Gelbart once said that he did not meet the other writers on this project until they were on stage together collecting their awards.

Dustin Hoffman first got the idea to do this film while working on Kramer vs. Kramer.
He felt his character in that film had to be both a mother and a father, so he started thinking about how to play a man and a woman.
Several scripts, several writers and a few directors later, this was the result.

In the first scene where Michael Dorsey is waking up to dress as Dorothy, there is a picture of Dustin Hoffman's mother next to the alarm clock.

The bit where Jessica Lange's character reaches behind her and accidentally grabs a corn cob instead of the phone was a genuine mistake in blocking.
The director decided to leave it in.

The movie's line "I was a better man with you as a woman than I ever was with a woman as a man. Know what I mean?"
was voted as the #61 of "The 100 Greatest Movie Lines" by Premiere in 2007.

The movie's line "That is one nutty hospital." was voted as the #44 of "The 100 Greatest Movie Lines" by Premiere in 2007.

The greatest challenge for Dustin Hoffman was getting Dorothy's voice right - he reportedly received help and coaching from Meryl Streep
(with whom he had just co-starred in Kramer vs. Kramer). He would read the role of Blance DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire and she would offer feedback.

Pollack was the director, Hoffman insisted, he would convince Hoffman to wear a dress.
Pollack still refused to play the part, so Hoffman sent him red roses every day with the note, "Please be my agent. Love, Dorothy" until Pollack agreed to take the role.

Dustin Hoffman allegedly tried out his role as Dorothy by passing himself off as his daughter's Aunt Dorothy at her parent's evening at school.
His performance was so strong he actually convinced the teachers present. They never suspected.
