A gender-bending comedy both tender and biting, director Sydney Pollack’s TOOTSIE (1982) is an all-time classic that earned recognition from the American Film Institute as one of the greatest films of all time – on both the original and 10th anniversary lists – as well as one of the art form’s greatest comedies (ranked #2, right after SOME LIKE IT HOT). At the story’s center is an iconic and indelible performance from Dustin Hoffman – recipient of the highest honor for a career in film, the AFI Life Achievement Award.
