Michael Dorsey, un acteur sur le déclin au tempérament difficile, se déguise en femme pour obtenir un rôle dans un feuilleton de mauvais goût.

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.
