What is The Landlord/The Fabulous Baker Boys about?

Double Feature: THE LANDLORD, 1970, MGM Repertory, 112 min. Dir. Hal Ashby.

THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, 1989, 20th Century Fox, 114 min. Dir. Steve Kloves. Brothers Frank and Jack (Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges) have carved out a career playing hackneyed jazz duets on matching grand pianos in night clubs. When they begin to see a downturn in the number of gigs they can get, 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. Discussion between films with Beau Bridges.
