Tootsie (1982)


Released December 17th in the US.
Filmed entirely in New York.
The story : Michael is an acting coach who is looking for work as a character actor.
Every time he auditions for a part , he is never what they are looking for.
He coachs a student for a part that she believes she will not get and then accompanies her to the audition.
No sooner does she go in she comes right back out because they wouldn't even see her.
Frustrated , Michael tries pulling some strings and while doing so finds out that the part he wanted his agent to get him an audition for he refuses to.

His agent explains that no one will hire Michael as he has a reputation of being argumentative and disagreeable.
Believing he can prove his agent wrong , Michael decides to audition for the part that his student didn't get and he gets it.
Michael has everyone convinced he is a woman but when that starts complicating his personal life he has no choice but to come clean.
