Plot Summary:
|
Arthur, a darned rich, drunken ne'er-do-well, falls in love with a working-class shoplifter even-handed as he is scheduled to league a properly pedigreed society fellow. But if he doesn't spliced the heiress, he force not be left a $750 million give. So Arthur turns to his loyal butler, who is slowly going, in support of help. The butler wishes to see Arthur dominate and so manipulates a situation in which the true lovers wishes take place together--and circumvent the crop. But that is a a heap easier said than done. ARTHUR is a charming romantic comedy that features the role that Dudley ... Moore was born to act. Whether bewitching limo trips through Central Park with prostitutes, playing with his train set, having a bath in a top hat, or wanting objective a tuna-fish sandwich, Arthur, perfectly portrayed by Moore, is one of the most likable onscreen characters in cinema history. John Gielgud as his patriotic, dry-witted butler is an out cold-and-in riot. And Liza Minnelli turns in one of her sweetest performances as the woman Arthur's descent demands he stop dating. Steve Gordon's film is an absolute joy to watch, a authentic piece of celluloid entertainment that never fails to please no matter how various times people has seen it.
