Audition scene from The Fabulous Baker Boys

[@cityofchamps66]

Have no clue how Michelle didn't win an Oscar for this amazing role, she is by far the most underrated actress of all time

[@nigebrown2510]

Absolutely I never get tired of this movie. Why hasn't anyone ever grabbed Michelle to record a Jazz album? So many other actors/TV stars have and been well below par

[@ryanevans8566]

Nothing short of one of the most memorable character introductions in recent memory. So many classic lines ("This is show business?" - "Besides you're not going anywhere" - Jack Baker's casual head turn upon hearing the words "I've been on call for the AAA Escort Service"). And then during the sensational performance, I'll always remember Beau Bridges' reaction at 6:07, and the fantastic jump cut after "So" at 7:11. That jump cut is the editor's version of a mic drop.

[@thomasschmitz9894]

[@BuzzLightyear9999]

This was an awesome ensemble cast. Everyone raves on Pfeifer and Jeff, but it was an equally impressive performance from Beau to be the “not quite as talented, bitter about it but accepting and pragmatic about it” brother... the one “outshone by the younger sibling...” His performance was necessary in order to showcase the contrast of Jeff’s character - not easy to deliberately aim for a “second banana” performance. The other two could smoulder so well because Beau was so “uptight and buttoned up”...

[@TheKazadoodle]

I've always thought Beau the superior actor but Jeff was prettier so he got the roles.

[@maretijewel1470]

I love all the three perfcs and Beau was outstanding in this part! Even J. Tilly deserved an Oscar, imo! Great acting through & through in this one...

Han quitado o ya no encuentro el video de Michelle Pfeiffer cantando The Look Of Love de Burt Bacharach/Hal David, de la película The Fabulous Baker Boys... Pero si hay el de la audición de cantantes (un momento alegre en la película que es un drama romántico con melancolía de piano lounge de hotel). Pasan un montón de cantantes desastrosas para lo que querían los hermanos en la vida real, Jeff y Beau Bridges, y hermanos pianistas en la película... al final del clip ya llega la heroina de la pelí, Michelle Pfeiffer. Jeff Bridges es un actorazo!! El piano fue tocado por Dave Grusin y Michelle que parece no ser la indicada por su aspecto o modales para la plaza de cantante lounge romántico jazzy, los mata por como canta el standard More Than You Know... hasta le pide a Jeff, toque "realmente lento" la intro... es romántica por dentro a morir aunque en su exterior es fría como un témpano ... Yo realmente aprecio el canto de Micbelle en la película. Algunos dijeron que con Dave Grusin como pianista, cualquiera canta bien. Pero no es eso, es la actriz, que dijo "yo crecí con el Rockn'roll de los 70' en las playas de California, esa fue mi adolescencia. Del canto romántico de standards no conocía nada. Pero me preparé e investigué sobre el tema. Estuve en hoteles y salones de piano jazz donde hay cantantes como Suzie Diamond. En el fondo seré Rockn'roll pero me llegó a gustar este tipo de canción hiper sensible de la película"...
