This is (sort of) my introduction to Dustin Hoffman, and oh what a first impression (kind of); the film is a well executed exposure of the prejudice against women. You genuinely feel for Hoffman's complicated actor/actress and the people he touches (hilariously unintentionally in a few cases), but the film never leaves the great gags and novelty untouched - so all the while, it's a thoroughly entertaining film. Hoffman easily balances comedic and seroius acting, and the scene where he reveals his identity should of won him the oscar.

This and 'The Graduate' both prove that Hoffman is a genius when it comes to provoking laughs and tears from an audience.
