Sony Pictures Home Entertainment celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the Oscar-winning romantic comedy, Tootsie, with an extraordinary special edition DVD on Feb. 5th for the suggested retail price of $19.94.

Nominated for ten Academy Awards, the uproarious, cross-dressing classic, directed by Oscar-winner Sydney Pollack (Best Director, Out of Africa, 1986), stars Dustin Hoffman with an all star supporting cast including Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Bill Murray and Geena Davis in her first on-screen role.

Synopsis:

Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is a talented actor, but his demanding nature and stubborn temperament have antagonized every producer in New York. Now his agent insists no one will hire him. But Michael needs money - eight thousand dollars to be exact - and to earn it, he's willing to play the role of a lifetime.

Dustin Hoffman stars (as a man and a woman!) with Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Bill Murray and Geena Davis in director Sydney Pollack's heart-filled classic that heralded a new era of Hollywood wig-flipping and set a new standard for unpredictable laugh-out-loud comedy.

DVD Bonus features include:
