The Making of 'Tootsie'

About This Movie

So, 'The Making of Tootsie' gives you a peek behind the curtain of Sydney Pollack's film. It's fascinating, really. You get to see the dynamics on set, the banter among the cast, and how they tackled the complexities of gender and performance. It's not just a straightforward doc—there’s a certain rawness to the footage that captures the atmosphere of early '80s filmmaking. The pacing meanders a bit, but it allows you to soak in the creative process. You see how Dustin Hoffman approached his role, which adds layers to what we see in the final cut. Plus, the practical effects and the wardrobe decisions are really interesting. A nice slice of film history, if you ask me.
