レビュー
“This fluid, marvelously detailed book goes a long way toward explaining why Tootsie has already achieved a reputation as a classic film comedy…Making Tootsie is more than a pleasing photo-filled souvenir of a popular hit. Books about the making of movies are plentiful; honest ones are rare.” (People )
” A perceptive and provocative work…Dworkin cuts through the filmmaking process’ technical lingo and yet manages to maintain a respect for the dynamics that result in a successful film.” (Los Angeles Times )
“I once said that wanted to be a screenwriter was like wanting to be a co-pilot. Ms. Dworkin captures that perfectly…Making Tootsie has a sense of making a movie that very few books have.” (John Gregory Dunne )
“A must for all film buffs [includes] revealing interviews with Hoffman and Pollack as well as a fascinating section on make-up and costumes.” (Patricia Bosworth )
“A stunning job of research, observation and reporting.” (Larry Gelbart, co-writer of Tootsie and writer on the M*A*S*H* TV series )
