Wikipedia article




'Just Like a Woman' is a 1992 British comedy-drama film directed by Christopher Monger starring Julie Walters, Adrian Pasdar, and Paul Freeman. The film is based on the 1985 novel 'Geraldine, For the Love of a Transvestite' by Monica Jay, and is one of the few "cross-dressing" films in which the hero is actually a transvestite, therefore having pure intentions, unlike 'Some Like it Hot', 'Tootsie', 'Mrs. Doubtfire', and others in which the cross-dresser has an ulterior motive. Just Like A Woman was adapted for screen and produced by Nicholas Evans. It was a modest commercial and critical success.

Plot



Gerald Tilson, a finance executive, 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, who gradually discovers his alter ego, "Geraldine". A subplot deals with his boss' plan to defraud their Japanese clients, and how the couple thwart it.
