It is based on the 1987 English novel Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine. The movie was produced by Blue Wolf and Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. It premiered theatrically in the United States on November 24th, 1993. The film deals with subjects of divorce, transvestism, and reconnecting with family. It stars Robin Williams as Daniel Hillard, and also as his alias, Euphegenia "Effie" Doubtfire. Co-starring with Williams is Sally Field as his ex-wife, Miranda Hillard, Pierce Brosnan as Stu - the competition, Harvey Fierstein as his brother, Frank Hillard, Polly Holliday as Gloria Cheney, and Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence, and Mara Wilson, as his children, Lydia, Chris & Natalie Hillard (respectively).

The premise of the film revolves around Daniel Hillard, a former voice actor who quits his job, which proves to be the final straw in his failing marriage to wife, Miranda. Following their divorce, Daniel is desperate to be a part of his children's lives, so he enlists the aid of elder brother Frank, a makeup artist, to transform him into the visage of a middle-aged Scottish woman he dubs Mrs. Doubtfire. As Doubtfire, Hillard becomes a housekeeper for his wife, and gets to be near his children.
