About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Comedy
- Description: In TOOTSIE, the character Michael Dorsey lands the role of a lifetime as does the actor playing him, Dustin Hoffman. This multilayered comedy from director Sydney Pollack follows the increasingly elaborate deception of a down-on-his-luck New York actor who disguises himself as a woman to get a coveted soap opera gig while his female persona skyrockets to fame, he finds himself learning to be a better man. Hoffman's ball-busting yet disarmingly sweet Dorothy Michaels is a sensational comic creation, given support by a stellar cast including Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Teri Garr, George Gaynes, Bill Murray, and, in her first Oscar-winning role, Jessica Lange. Imbued with poignant drama, TOOTSIE is a funny and cutting film from an American moment defined by shifting social and sexual identities.

Before FAME, PINK FLOYD THE WALL, THE COMMITMENTS, and EVITA, acclaimed director Alan Parker redefined the movie musical with his first feature length film. Set in 1929 New York City, BUGSY MALONE captures a flashy world of would-be hoodlums, showgirls, and dreamers all portrayed by child actors. As Tallulah, the sassy girlfriend of the owner of Fat Sam's Grand Slam Speakeasy, future superstar Jodie Foster leads a talented cast. Parker's sharp script, combined with the music and lyrics of Paul Williams (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE) makes for an irresistible satire that's truly one-of-a-kind. Available for the first time in the US on Blu-ray, in celebration of it's 45th Anniversary, this limited-edition has been remastered from the original film elements.

CHRISTY - In the late '80s, closeted college basketball player Christy Salters (Sydney Sweeney) tried her hand at boxing, and her potential caught the eye of older trainer Jim Martin (Ben Foster). The generation that followed-which saw her become one of the great competitors in the sport, and endure manipulation from Martin that included marriage, exploitation, and violence-is chronicled in this biopic offering a compelling central effort from Sweeney.
