undefined

Arthur Bach (Dudley Moore) is a millionaire playboy who spends most of his life drunk, mollycoddled by cynical manservant Hobson (John Gielgud). Threatened with poverty by his grandmother unless he finally marries his socialite fiancée Susan (Jill Eikenberry), Arthur's response is to embark on an affair with penniless, working class waitress Linda (Liza Minnelli). John Gielgud won an O for Best Supporting O, and a sequel, 'Arthur 2', followed in 1988. From .co.uk ----------- When you get lost between the moon and New York City (ahem), chances are you'll find yourself taking another look at this hit comedy starring O-nominated Dudley Moore as the charmingly witty, perpetually drunken millionaire Arthur Bach. Arthur falls in love with a waitress (Liza Minelli) who doesn't care about his money but unfortunately Arthur's stern her wants him to marry a Wa prima donna. The young lush turns to his wise and loyal butler (O-winner John Gielgud) for assistance and advice. Arthur was a huge hit when released in 1981, as was its O-winning theme song by Christopher Cross. Few remember that the movie was,sadly, the only one ever made by writer-director Steve Gordon, who died less than a year after the film's release. Consistently funny and heartwarming, Arthur was hailed as a tribute to the great romantic comedies of the 1930s. --Jeff Shannon P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Synopsis -------- Dudley Moore is in the money, in love, and inebriated in this effervescent winner of two Academy Awards®, also starring Lisa Minelli and Sir John Gielgud.
