"Tootsie" rolled into theaters 40 years ago today. The still-timely story is smart, funny, and touching. A top-notch cast with Jessica Lange, Bill Murray, Teri Garr, Charles Durning, Dabney Coleman, right down to the entire supporting cast. And does anyone else miss Dustin Hoffman's Dorothy when "she" is off-screen?

My take on "Tootsie" here:

The only Dorothys I miss are Judy Garland and Bea Arthur.

[quote]When David Yazbek and Robert Horn’s new musical Tootsie opened on Broadway a few weeks ago to mostly rave reviews (all written by cisgender critics), New York magazine’s Sara Holdren was one of the only critics to call out the dated gender politics of the show, based on the 1982 film.

Funny. How do they know all those critics identify as “cisgender” or that they have a gender identity at all?

Also: “dated gender politics”, are those worse than dated gender stereotypes? I’d *love* to have a chat with the author of that piece.

I don't know why you are coughing, r5. It got made, didn't it?

And if you or anyone came away from Tootsie that the joke is a "man in a dress," you weren't really paying attention.
