There's LITERALLY WWII propaganda, put out by the US military to raise money, that features drag. It's a musical comedy called This Is The Army. Every one on set, except for good ol Ronnie Reagan and handful of bonafide movie stars, is an active duty soldier and half of them are in heels and a dress. This is the Army was the highest grossing musical film for a solid decade. (comment courtesy of @our-lady-of--singularities)

Sally Field & Robin Williams for Mrs Doubtfire (1993)

Williams changed the filming schedule when he found out Sally Field's father died. He told her: “Oh my God, we need to get you out here right now.”

“I never shared this story before,” Field says. “I was in the camper outside of the courtroom where we were shooting the divorce scene. My father had a stroke a couple of years before and was in a nursing facility. I got a phone call from the doctor saying my father had passed, a massive stroke. He asked if I wanted them to put him on the resuscitator. I said: “No, he did not want that. Just let him go. And please lean down and say, "Sally says goodbye." I was of course beside myself. I came on the set trying with all my might to act. I wasn’t crying. Robin came over, pulled me out of the set and asked, ‘Are you okay?’ and he made it happen. They shot around me the rest of the day. I could go back to my house, call my brother and make arrangements. It’s a side of Robin that people rarely knew. He was very sensitive and intuitive.”

Mrs. Doubtfire (1993, Chris Columbus)

13/12/2023

Mrs. Doubtfire is a 1993 comedy-drama film directed by Chris Columbus, loosely based on the 1987 novel Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine.

The film, starring Robin Williams, Sally Field and Pierce Brosnan, follows a recently divorced actor who disguises himself as a housekeeper so he can interact with his children.

The film won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and two Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.

Although the film received mixed reviews upon release, its reception and popularity improved considerably, placing 67th on the American Film Institute's AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs list.

Daniel Hillard is a voice actor with an extraordinary talent for changing voices who works and lives in San Francisco, but who quit after an argument with his boss. Miranda, Daniel's wife, who returned home early thanks to a phone call from her neighbor who was exasperated with the situation that had arisen, argues furiously with her husband, accusing him of being immature and unreliable and ending up asking him for her divorce.

One Saturday evening, coming to Daniel's house to pick up her children, Miranda informs her ex-husband of her intention to hire a housekeeper.

During Miranda's birthday dinner, blinded by jealousy and alcohol, Daniel sneaks into the kitchen and fills Stu's plate with chili pepper, who is allergic to the ingredient. Daniel, dressed as Mrs. Doubtfire, realizing the trouble he has caused, rushes to the aid of his rival, but when he practices the Heimlich maneuver to make the morsel come out, the mask comes off revealing his true face.

Blake Lively did not pass the audition for the role of Natalie Hillard, which later went to Mara Wilson. Robin Williams was chosen by Anne Fine herself for the role of Mrs Doubtfire, while Tim Allen was proposed for both the role of the housekeeper and that of Stu, but he rejected both parts.

The producers wanted the parents to eventually get back together and remarry, but Robin Williams, Sally Field and Chris Columbus thought this ending would be too unrealistic and would give false hope to children of divorced parents.

The film was shot in San Francisco, Oakland, Redwood City and San Ramon between March 22 and July 1, 1993.

The film was released in cinemas in the United States on November 24, 1993, and in Italy on February 11, 1994.

Mrs. Doubtfire earned $219,195,243 in the United States and Canada and $222,090,952 in other countries, for a worldwide total of $441,286,195, making it 20th Century Fox's highest-grossing film internationally at era and the second highest-grossing film of 1993, behind only Jurassic Park.

You know, some parents, when they're angry, they get along much better when they don't live together. They don't fight all the time, and they can become better people, and much better mummies and daddies for you. And sometimes they get back together. And sometimes they don't, dear. And if they don't, don't blame yourself.
