Tootsie
1982
New York, New York
Sydney Pollack
Romantic Comedy Drama
What’s it all about: Teri Garr’s character arc. This classic comedy, with a strong female lead and amazing support cast of veterans and ingenues, somehow fails to pass the Bechdel Test.
First Encounter: at the movies; Candotti skipped out after Dustin Hoffman’s first scene
Prostitute Index: nil
Death By: chauvinism
Relics: soap operas, skirt suits, dinner dates, sweats
Heartthrob: Jessica Lange
LoFi Magic: teleprompter confusion, magazine cover montage
Makes me want to: FF through all the parts when they play the full “It Might Be You” theme song
Candotti take: “For me personally, the trailer is enough.” (“Do you want to watch the trailer now?” / “No.”)
Worth a watch/rewatch: No
