Win tickets to Film@TheBraid’s screening of Tootsie

FILM@THEBRAID will be screening the Oscar-nominated classic film Tootsie at their next screening on Thursday, February 23.

Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, Tootsie stars Dustin Hoffman as Michael Dorsey, a brilliant but troublesome actor who has managed to alienate every producer. Michael’s agent George Fields (Sydney Pollack) can’t even get his client a commercial since Michael complained that the tomato he was playing wasn’t properly motivated.

When he hears of an opening on a popular soap opera, he applies for the job - even though the job is for a woman. Posing as Miss Dorothy Michaels, Michael wins the part and becomes a widely-known actress. Yet complications ensue when Michael falls for his co-star Julie (Jessica Lange, in an Oscar-winning performance.

Upcoming films being screened by the local film club include: All the President’s Men (March 29 at 7pm), Dirty Harry (April 12), Les Choristes (April 26 at 7pm), Grosse Pointe Blank (May 31 at 7pm), Kes (June 28 at 7pm).

Tootsie will screened by Film@TheBraid at The Braid Arts Centre at 7pm on February 23.
