Tootsie (15), February 1984

Dustin Hoffman playing a woman, in this case the determined Dorothy Michaels is about as probable as Barry Norman being nice about it.  But play her he does convincingly, and hilariously.   Characters not to be missed are George Gaynes’ deliciously obnoxious John Van Horn and the wife hunting father, where ever more efforts lead to hystera!

Plus short Queens Guard (U).  (Programme 136 minutes, finish 10.01pm approx)
