Storyline:The film opened in late August of 1956, just a few months after the Broadway play ended its run in April.After Eustace rehung the painting on the wall, they watched as theDawn Treadersailed away and disappeared over the horizon, before the three left he bedroom and closed the door.Masterful scenes included the sweeping crowd scenes outside the Notre Dame Cathedral, the "King of Fools" celebration, the military processions, and the deformed hunchback""s thrilling and daring rescue of condemned-to-die gypsy Esmeralda from being hanged on a scaffold, by swinging to her on a rope and whisking her back o Notre Dame, while crying "Sanctuary, Sanctuary.[Note: See Filmsite""s:Sex in Cinema: 1980, andSex in Cinema: 1982.]Many asked about the origin of the film""s title, and here were two explanations both unrelated to the film itself -- (1) it was the name of the dog of Hoffman""s mother, and (2) as a little child, Hoffman""s mother playfully threw him into the air and exclaimed his nickname: "How""s my Tootsie-Wootsie?" The film""s original title was more in line with the film""s theme: "Would I Lie to You?"Before the project finally gained steam, it went through wo other directors (Dick Richards, Hal Ashby, and Sydney Pollack), many choices of actors/actresses (Cher, Michael Caine, and Peter Sellers) and about twenty script rewrites with numerous writers.He was presumably running an errand during his Friday work-day, and returned after a half-hour to his lowly, dead-end job as a clerk in the paint department of a local hardware store on 5th Avenue in Brooklyn.
