American Cinematheque presents a double-feature screening of The Landlord and The Fabulous Baker Boys, with in-person discussion with actor Beau Bridges between films. The 1970 dramedy The Landlord features Bridges in the title role as a man who buys a tenement building with the intention of renovating it himself -- only to change his plans after he interacts with the tenants. The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) stars real-life brothers Beau and Jeff Bridges as siblings who've carved out a career playing hackneyed jazz duets in night clubs. When the gigs start dwindling, they resort to the tried-and-true "sex sells" technique and hire eccentric, irreverent ex-escort Susie Diamond (Michelle Pfeifer) to sing as part of their routine. But when the three-person act becomes a hit, the resentments Frank and Jack have been harboring against each other -- and Jack and Susie's mutual attraction -- threaten the group's newfound success.
