BROTHERLY LOVE
Today's movie was
with Jeff Bridges, brother Beau and Michelle Pfeiffer.
This is a kind of musical but with some switches here and there. It is also a brother film. And, as it happens, in addition to having Jeff Bridges which is the reason to see it today, it is a breakout role for Pfeiffer.
I can remember seeing this when it came out and the impact of her performance was very high. She was something/someone new.
This is a good story. It is also good music. The music floats the film along, actually. Fills the cracks. One of my favorites, Dave Grusin, does the score and the serious jazz piano playing for Jeff B. That is Grusin in the photo. Very nice.
I have seen this a few times. That makes it a 5 out of Netflix5.
