Frankly I thought it was okay. Not great, not hot. Perhaps it was the drag. Whether it was this, or English humor (Monty Python,etc.) I just don't see it.

It sure seemed funny to me. You have to add the desperation to elude the gangsters into the mix, too. http://www.poster.net/lemmon-jack/lemmon-jack-photo-jack-lemmon-6206266.jpg
Drag has been popular for quite a while. think: Milton Berle & Flip Wilson. I once saw Tony Curtis say, to enhance the effect, he pursed his lips after every line. After hearing that, the effect is doubly hilaarious! BYW, I didn 't think TOOTSIE was particularly successful. I can't imagine anybody not seeing through that one.
