Michael Dorsey es un actor neoyorkino que aún no ha conseguido el reconocimiento con un buen papel. Un día toma una importante decisión: hacerse pasar por una mujer y tratar de encontrar una oportunidad.

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.
