I had forgotten how brilliant Jeff DanielsBridges is in "The Fabulous Baker Boys." I remember seeing this film in 1988, when I was 15 and I got it then. I understood that his interpretation of the younger Baker brother was good, but I didn't fully grasp why. I was flipping through the various HBO channels this afternoon and it was just coming on, so I watched. The restraint. The desperation masked by a veneer of apathy. A tremendous performance. Wonderful lines.
