What's left behind the scenes
- The final title for the film was suggested by Dustin Hoffman: Tootsie was the nickname of a dog owned by his mother.
- The relationship between the characters played by Dustin Hoffman and Sydney Pollack in the film largely mirrored their interactions on set: the director and actor argued with each other on a wide variety of topics. After lengthy discussions, many of Hoffman's suggestions were accepted, such as Pollack playing the role of agent Michael Dorsey and Bill Murray appearing as his friend.
- All of Bill Murray's lines in the film are improvised.
- The film marked actress Gene Davis's debut in cinema.
- Initially, Dorothy spoke without an accent, but during rehearsals, Hoffman discovered that he could better reach the range of a female voice using a Southern pronunciation.
- In addition to directing the film, Sydney Pollack also produced it. In turn, the second producer, Dick Richards, attempted to become the film's co-director, but without success.
- In the very first scene, when Michael is trying to dress up as Dorothy, a portrait of Dustin Hoffman's mother stands to the left of the alarm clock.
- It ranks 85th in attendance among foreign films in Soviet cinema distribution.
- The working title of the film was “Would I Lie to You?” (“Could I Lie to You?”).
- The Soviet distribution version of the film included the subtitle: “Cutie”.
- A poster of Samuel Beckett hangs in Michael Dorsey’s apartment.
- Due to censorship, many scenes were cut from the version of the film released in the USSR.
- The film ranked second on the American Film Institute’s list of “100 Years…100 Comedies”.
- The scene where Jessica Lange's character reaches for the phone and grabs an ear of corn instead arose purely by chance, but the director decided to leave it in the film.
- The working title of the film was "Would I Lie to You?"
- The film ranked second on the American Film Institute's list of "100 Years...100 Comedies."
