Hey Joe! I remember loving this movie, and as usual, after having seen this movie with the Bridges Brothers and Michelle Pfeiffer, it’s very hard to imagine the Murray Brothers and anyone else but Michelle Pfeiffer in these roles… As always, your background information and insights is just so entertaining! Thank you so much! Peace! CPZ

Glad you enjoyed the piece, Zeke. The Fabulous Baker Boys is both not quite as good and better than I remember it, if that's possible. I really love what I love about it, despite its shortcomings elsewhere. Pfeiffer does a very specific thing--verve and vocal performance through her singing--that's very effective, and the Bridges boys are great. As is Dave Grusin's music.
