      We studied Tootsie in a film making class. It was regarded by the professor as the most structurally sound comedy he'd ever critiqued, citing Pollack as a genius and "weaver of the imagination."

      I didn't even realize he was sick.

        Truly one of the great directors of all time. Almost all of his films are classics, and should be in everyone's film collection.

            73 seems so young in this day and age. A sad loss.
