Brothers Jack and Frank Baker are cocktail lounge piano players whose career has hit a sour note. They need a little charm and sex appeal to liven up their act - what they get is Susie Diamond, a beautiful, but hard-talking, chain-smoking singer. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Actress--Michelle Pfeiffer, Best Original Score.

Two piano-playing brothers, one a cynic with serious artistic leanings, and the other a perpetually optimistic, but workmanlike player, audition a number of vocalists in order to spice up their stale lounge act. When they find a beautiful and talented young singer, their career starts to pick up again. But jealousies, both romantic and professional, begin to appear and threaten their newfound success.

Michelle Pfeiffer did all her own singing.

"Steve Kloves' elegant three-hander is an intimate riff on brotherly love/hate, spruced up by the natural chemistry between the Bridges."
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he sparkling performances ensure this remains engrossing entertainment."
"...[A] slow, teasing, rapturously moody romance....THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, like its stars, has style and sultriness to spare..."
"...Pfeiffer Unbound. You don't want to take your eyes off her..." -- Rating: A-
"...A clear-eyed look at an unpromising end of show biz.....As salty and sexy and unhousebroken a movie as you could hope to find.....Michelle Pfeiffer is delectable..."
"...Pfeiffer is a knockout....The Bridges brothers are a winning pair..."
