Excellent review in the current Cineaste of this amusing, sexually reactionary, incredibly overrated film.

and My Man Godfrey solves the problem of homelessness by opening a swank nightclub on the city dump for the entertainment of the white plutocrats who put'em there – get over it.

Hollywood's innovation is to emasculate comedy's subversive power, and even then Tootsie got a convincing lesbian crush onscreen.

MMG did not posture as socially significant.

referring to OP, "last great studio comedy" is a bizarre statement, given that
1) tootsie has its charms but is by no means great
2) there have been quite a few excellent studio comedies in the past 30+ years. groundhog day is an obvious one that comes to mind.

Sex changes things. I've had relationships where I know a guy, then have sex with, and then I bump into him and he acts like I loaned him money.

Yup. She wrote most of Teri Garr's stuff.

the stage musical is imminent! set on Broadway rather than a soap.

The NYT review is almost a rave. "Sparkles with wit"! Only the staging is flat, Jesse Green writes, and they push the feminism a little too hard (who could've predicted).
I did laugh at the summary of the show within the show, a sequel to Romeo & Juliet.
