This topic was the subject of a set of group projects in a "Gender and Film
Genres" course I took, and ALL OF ME, with Steve Martin & Lily Tomlin was one
of the included films.  In addition, there was a thriller about a man who
dressed in drag & killed women.  Anyone remember the title?
 
There was also a "Rock Hudson in a bathrobe scene" in LOVER COME BACK.
