Gerald, a finance executive (Adrian Pasdar), finds himself thrown out by his
wife when she discovers women's underwear in their flat; in fact the clothes
belong to him. He takes lodgings with Monica (Julie Walters) who gradually
discovers his alter ego, "Geraldine". A sub-plot deals with his boss'
plan to defraud their Japanese clients, and how the couple thwart it.
The film is based on the novel Geraldine, For the Love of a
Transvestite by Monica Jay, and is one of the few
"cross-dressing" movies in which the hero is actually a transvestite,
unlike Some Like it Hot, Tootsie, Mrs. Doubtfire,
and others in which the cross-dresser has an ulterior motive.
The film's title is taken from that of a song by Bob Dylan.
Samuel Goldwyn film. 102 minutes.
