Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
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 Oscar-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 father wants him to marry a Waspy prima donna. The young lush turns to his wise and loyal butler (Oscar-winner John Gielgud) for assistance and advice. Arthur was a huge hit when released in 1981, as was its Oscar-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

"I wish I had a dime for every dime I have...",

This review is from: Arthur (Full Screen) (DVD)
How could anyone NOT love this movie? The first time I was introduced to Arthur, was in 1984. I was 9 years old & I absolutely loved it. Hobson's one liners alone are worth the price of the DVD. "Steal something casual..." It is still just as funny today as the first time I've watched it. More so has I've grown older considering I was able to comprehend the jokes that had originally gone over my head. Barney Martin was HILARIOUS as Linda's father, Dudley Moore was excellent as Arthur but Sir John Gielgud absolutely took the cake as Hobson. This is the kind of movie that is impossible to pass up if you are channel surfing. I have seen it dozens of times & it never fails to make me laugh hysterically every time. 5 stars are just not enough.
