An Oscar-nominated Dudley Moore stars as a warmhearted but perpetually drunken New York playboy torn between love and money in the sparkling smash hit comedy Arthur. Raised in a life of opulence by his sharp-tongued but loyal butler (Oscar-winner John Gielgud), Arthur has grown into a lonely young lush. But when he falls for a working-class woman from Queens (Liza Minnelli), his family gives him an ultimatum: go through with an arranged marriage to a terminally dull heiress or say goodbye to his inheritance forever.
“A terrifically engaging, high-spirited screwball comedy” – Vincent Canby, The New York Times
“Arthur is one of those rare contemporary entertainments that can be used to contradict people who habitually complain, “They don’t make ’em like they used to!” This time they have.” – Gary Arnold, The Washington Post
“Arthur is a sparkling entertainment which attempts, with a large measure of success, to resurrect the amusingly artificial conventions of 1930s screwball romantic comedies.” – Variety
