REVIEW
This vibrant and sexy romantic comedy-drama is an extremely well-written, acted and executed adult entertainment set against the sometimes tacky world of the lounge act. Pfeiffer, an actress of stunning beauty and incomparable talent, gives an intelligent, smoldering performance as Susie Diamond, the singer who enters the lives of two brothers (the fabulous Bridges boys) whose piano act is dying a slow death. The film follows the love affair between cynical Jeff and sultry Michelle, almost effortlessly evoking the mood of those great 1940s screen romances. The smokey atmosphere is further enhanced by Dave Grusin's outstanding jazz score. (Widescreen version available for $14.99) You Might Also Like
