The lives of two struggling musicians, who happen to be brothers, inevitably change when they team up with a beautiful, up-and-coming singer.
Frank and Jack Baker are professional musicians who play in small clubs. They perform cover tunes of music standards and have never needed a day job. Times are changing and dates are becoming more difficult to get so they interview female singers. They finally decide on Susie Diamond, a former ‘escort’ who needs some refinement, but the act begins to take off again. While the act is now successful, both Frank and Jack have problems with their life on the road. Susie becomes the agent that makes them re-evaluate where they are going, and how honest they have been with each other.
“’The Fabulous Baker Boys’ is like a beloved movie from the glory days of Hollywood. It transports you. It’s an American rhapsody.” – The Washington Post
“A movie in which 80s glamour is being defined…The three stars seem perfect at what they’re doing.” – The New Yorker
“It’s a film specializing in smoky, down-at-the-heels glamour, and in the kind of smart, slangy dialogue that sounds right without necessarily having much to say.” – The New York Times
