I'm trying to find instances where cross-dressing men momentarily drop
their disguise to deal with difficult situations.  For example, in "To
Wong Foo" Patrick Swayze's character tries to resist the cop's advances
in a demure, feminine way, but when that doesn't work he yells in a
masculine voice and knocks the cop down.  I seem to remember Robin
Williams using his masculine voice to hail a cab in "Mrs. Doubtfire".
Can you think of other instances where characters pretending to be women
use masculine voices and/or physical power?  Is there any scene like this
in "Some Like It Hot" or "Tootsie"?
Thanks.
