Corrected entry: When Jessica Lange has Dustin Hoffman over to her place for dinner, she is wearing sweats and her hair is in a ponytail. But in one shot, where she is mixing food in a bowl with her hands, she has on a T-shirt and jeans, and her hair is in a French braid. In the following scenes, she is back in sweats and the ponytail.

Correction: Jessica Lange is in sweats but then the scene switches to Teri Garr (who is wearing jeans and a tee shirt) who is making dinner for Dustin Hoffman.

Corrected entry: During the opening credits, you see Dustin Hoffman applying spirit gum with a brush to his upper lip, to which he then places a fake moustache. Next, for some unknown reason, he brushes it on his right cheek.

Correction: He's applying a latex scar, which is visible in the next scene.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Dorothy reveals himself as Michael, his purple clutch handbag disappears while he's making his speech.

Correction: A wide shot reveals that Dorothy's purse has been set down on the banister next to her.

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.

Trivia: The filming for Toosie went almost 3 weeks beyond the schedule because Dustin Hoffman could only film his scenes as Dorothy for about three hours at a time, after which his beard began to show and it took too long to reapply his makeup.

Question: Why is it that Julie throws a drink in Michael's face? I thought she wanted a guy to say those things to her the night Michael was Dorothy.

Answer: What she said was a fantasy - big difference between saying that in conversation and actually having it said to her.

Thank you.
