Dudley Moore is outstandingly funny in this film, but even he is outclassed by his butler played by John Gielgud. His dry English wit and flawless timing crack me up every single time I watch this show! This is a movie... Full review
This 1981 comedy still sparkles thanks to the combined efforts of writer/director Steve Gordon and stars Dudley Moore and John Gielgud. Sadly, Gordon, only in his early forties, died soon after completing this, his only feature film. It's an especially unfortunate... Full review

I know some people get turned off that she is in this movie, and I too am not a huge fan of hers, but this movie is one of my all-time favorites. You cannot help but fall in love with it.... Full review

Arthur would like to marry Linda. You might be tempted to think that " Arthur " would be a bore, because it is about a drunk who is always trying to tell you stories. ... Full Review

When the film opens, Arthur is on the threshold of an arranged marriage with simpering socialite Jill Eikenberry, whom he does not love. Arthur would prefer to marry the lowly Minnelli , but his iron-willed grandmother ( Geraldine Fitzgerald ) threatens to pull the plug on his huge inheritance if he doesn't honor his position in life and go through with his marriage to Eikenberry. ...

Objectively I can only say that Arthur is very well done. Arthur is tortured by the fact that he doesn't love her until he meets Linda (Liza Minelli) a spunky but poor waitress from Queens. ... Full Review
