The Fabulous Baker Boys
Director: Steve Kloves
Actors: Jeff Bridges, Michelle Pfeiffer, Beau Bridges
PlotJack and Frank are piano-playing brothers who have been performing together in small clubs for years, but despite their skills, they are stuck in a rut. To revitalize their act, they decide to hire a singer, and after a series of unimpressive auditions, they discover the mesmerizing Susie Diamond. Her sultry voice and captivating presence bring immediate success, breathing new life into Jack and Frank's act. As they begin to experience a resurgence in popularity, tensions also start to surface.
Jack, the brooding and more talented brother, feels creatively stifled by the routine nature of their performances, while Frank, who handles the business side, is more concerned with maintaining stability. Susie's arrival exacerbates existing frictions between the brothers and introduces new complications. As personal and professional lines blur, Jack faces a dilemma about his future, grappling with his artistic aspirations and the burgeoning emotional entanglements taking shape.
