Known for his difficult temperament, down-on-his-luck actor Michael Dorsey finds work on a trashy daytime soap opera by disguising himself as a woman by the name of Dorothy Michaels.

A model of Hollywood entertainment at its very finest, this is a show-biz comedy that does everything right, a gender-bending farce that challenges Some Like It Hot, and an update of screwball traditions for the ’80s. Hoffman is stellar, Lange winsome. Consider an uncredited Bill Murray as a bonus.
