Four by Sondheim (Applause Musical Library) por Stephen Sondheim

Sondheim was truly our equivalent to Shakespeare. To read the words makes the musicals even more human than when experienceing them live. Though live is how they should be first expereinced.

Tootsie por Sidney Pollack

Michael Dorsey es un actor neoyorkino sin éxito. Además, en los círculos artísticos tiene fama de conflictivo. Como su mala racha no se acaba, un día toma una importante decisión: hacerse pasar por una mujer para encontrar trabajo. Consigue un papel, pero su nueva identidad le traerá no pocas complicaciones en su vida diaria. (FILMAFFINITY)

Tootsie por Sydney Pollack

An actor in drag gets a job on a soap opera.

1.5/4 (Meh).

I don't understand this movie. It's not as problematic as I'd expected; it doesn't make the easy, cheap jokes. But then, there aren't many jokes at all. My wife and I counted them, and I think we got up to five (although admittedly a couple of them were very good). It's really not a comedy, unless you think the mere existence of drag is funny. I'm guessing it thinks of itself as a romance; if so, it fails miserably. I just don't get it what it's trying to do. And I would much rather watch the aborted subplot (important to the story but not actually featured in the movie) of Teri Garr and Bill Murray putting on a bad play in a barn.
