QuickView
Story-line: the Baker brothers, a pair of lounge pianists, meet with success after hiring singer Susie Diamond.
Pluses: a good screenplay, solid acting, a pivotal role in Michelle Pfeiffer’s career.
Minuses: none really.
Comments: this thoughtful story about music, recognition, love and the pursuit of artistic ambitions will surely entertain you. I always enjoy seeing the Bridges brothers and, of course, Michelle Pfeiffer’s striking poses on the piano are a highlight of this serious production.
