It’s Dustin Hoffman night on TCM: five movies in a row, starting with this brave, touching character study from 1982. Hoffman gets due credit for transforming himself into the titular character, but I’ve always been equally impressed by how committed he is to portraying a committed actor, determined to remain true to his craft as he sees it. Also noteworthy in this movie, of course: Jessica Lange as the love interest, and Bill Murray as the comical best friend.
