Factual error: No actor is going to secure a recurring speaking role in a soap opera unless a comprehensive insurance policy has been secured. (This applies to feature films, too.) This will inevitably involve a medical examination. Mr Dorsey's plans are going to become dreadfully unstuck the minute he drops his y-fronts in the doctor's surgery. (No, he can't find a compliant or bribeable doctor - the insurance company will always use their own people.)
Tootsie (1982)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Sydney Pollack
Starring: Bill Murray, Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman
Plot hole: "Dorothy Michaels" does not exist, but suddenly becomes famous. It is simply not feasible that nobody looks into her background! Not one single print or television reporter is interested in her life story? Nobody has ever wondered where she came from, has checked into what other roles she had played, or has expressed interest in her personal life? That's impossible.
Sandy: Wish me luck.
Michael Dorsey: Fuck you.
Sandy: Thanks.
Michael Dorsey: Fuck you.
Trivia: "Tootsie" was Dustin Hoffman's childhood nickname; it was he who suggested that as the movie's title.
Question: When this movie was first released in theaters, I vaguely remember a scene where one crewman yelled "go to commercial" and another crewperson said something like "we already had (some big number) commercials, stand-bys..." and other things in the sentence related to a big delay of the show. When this movie was recently on cable, I watched it and never found this scene in it, but remember this in 1982. Was this scene edited out in recent years, or am I mistaking this scene with another movie?
Answer: No I believe that's from the movie.
