一曲相思情未了 The Fabulous Baker Boys [1989]

The Fabulous Baker Boys, a Seattle-based duo piano lounge act performing cheesy jazz renditions of pop standards, is comprised of thirty-something brothers Frank and Jack Baker. Older Frank, married with two children, is the controlling business manager, front man and sole programmer of the playlist. Younger Jack is the carefree one without commitments to anything or anyone, including women, he who has had a long string of one night stands, most specifically with cocktail waitresses. Jack’s strongest commitments are to his aging dog, Eddie, and to Nina, the lonely adolescent who lives in the apartment above his with her single, constantly dating mother. Jack’s commitment to Nina is because of her unwavering commitment to him. The Baker Boys’ act is becoming stale and outdated, and as such their ability to hold onto what gigs they are able to get is getting more difficult. So Frank comes up with the idea of hiring a singer to beef up the act. After thirty-seven failed auditions, they finally hire the last, the thirty-eighth auditioner, Susie Diamond, a woman one step above white trash. Despite Susie having no formal singing experience, she has just a strong enough vocal talent of the music they perform, and can sell a song largely on her stage presence and sex appeal. She is able to turn off her outward tough girl demeanor once she’s on stage. Susie is initially an uneasy addition to the act, but becomes an integral part of it as the act begins getting more gigs, more lucrative ones at that. But Susie’s presence not only threatens the new act, but threatens the interrelationships between all three. Frank believes the biggest threat is any sexual tension, perceived or real, between Jack and Susie. However, the biggest threat is how Susie is able to expose the fundamental rifts between the brothers, Frank whose primary goal is to put food on his family’s table, while Jack’s is his true musical dreams which are being stifled by the act.

算來這部電影是《因為你愛過我》《kiss情人》蜜雪兒菲佛最成功的代表作之一,也是《謀殺綠腳趾》《無懈可擊》傑夫布里吉最為人熟知的電影。更是導演史蒂夫克羅夫斯編導的成功作品(他二千年最新作品是《完美男人》),他找來活躍於演藝圈的布里吉兄弟,飾演片中的貝克兄弟。


貝克兄弟同樣都是音樂人,長久以來,他們一直搭檔演出,然而時代改變了,如果他們的表演沒有加入新的元素,他們不但演出機會愈來愈少,就連生計都成了問題。
有天,他們選中了一新極亮眼的女歌手蘇西(蜜雪兒菲佛飾)加入他們的表演行列。初初合作,他們的新鮮表演手法的的確確為他們掙來不少上台機會,荷包收入更是增加不少。然而,在合作的過程當中,兄弟兩人不同的音樂觀念,卻愈演愈烈,而讓步的,往往都是弟弟傑克(傑夫布里吉飾)。
有天,哥哥法蘭克(畢布里吉飾)無法參與演出,傑克跟蘇西隨興演出,為他們贏得最高的讚賞,同時更將他們之間的情火燃到最高點。日後,當法蘭克回到舞台,發現他們演出走了樣;傑克也發現他再也沒辦法回到過去的演出方式……兄弟決裂了……就連夾在兄弟間的蘇西也受不了了……他們於是拆了夥……
本片裡,蜜雪兒菲佛的初吟不僅一鳴驚人,而且她在鋼琴上唱著〈FEELING〉的性感模樣,更成了經典鏡頭。
