Rather more fun than funny. Unemployed New York actor Michael Dorsey, dolled up as Southern belle Dorothy Michaels, tries out for and gets a female role on a TV soap opera. The fun part of it consists in trying to locate and identify Dustin Hoffman amidst the feminine camouflage of his Dorothy Michaels persona. The funny parts tend to be conventional and predictable, but what hurts them, in addition, are the not funny parts or rather, since that description covers too much territory, the not even trying to be funny parts: the periodic displays of piousness (than which nothing is more deadly to comedy) in matters of sexual politics. Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Bill Murray, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning; written by Larry Gelbart and Murray Schisgal; directed by Sydney Pollack. (1982) — Duncan Shepherd
