The Fabulous Baker Boys is a 1989 film about two brothers who perform a duo piano show together in small clubs. They hire a singer to keep their act current. The woman they hire causes tensions between them.
Written and directed by Steven Kloves with cinematography by Michael Ballhaus, it features real-life brothers Jeff and Beau Bridges as well as Ellie Raab and Michelle Pfeiffer in a rare singing role. Although the film is set in the present, its look, mood, and dialogue reflect a nostalgia for films of the 1940s.
It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Michelle Pfeiffer), Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing and Best Music, Original Score.
Tagline: For 31 years it's been just the Fabulous Baker Boys... but times change.
