Need to Rewatch submitted by crazypockets on July 25, 2013, 12:52pm I watched this years ago, but I recently saw an interview with Dustin Hoffman where he got very emotional talking about it. Apparently when they went to make him up as a woman, he said he wanted to be as attractive as possible. When they told him "this is as good as it gets," he had a revelation that this was how all women feel, and he began to understand how society values them so much on their looks. It made me want to rewatch it because it seems like he gained some very valuable insights in making it. And as I remember, it was pretty funny, too.
