Having a performing artist dress as the contrary sex for comic impact is likewise a long-standing custom in comic theater and film. The majority of Shakespeare's comedies incorporate occasions of plain cross-dressing, for example, Francis Flute in A Midsummer Night's Dream. The film A Funny Thing Happened while in transit to the Forum stars Jack Gilford dressing as a youthful lady of the hour. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon broadly acted like ladies to escape criminals in the Billy Wilder film Some Like It Hot. Cross-dressing for comic impact was a habitually utilized gadget in the vast majority of the Carry On films. Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams have each showed up in a hit satire film (Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire, separately) in which they played most scenes dressed as a lady.
