Arthur (1981)
7/10
Dudley Moore is fine, Gielgud is the best!!
17 March 2020
I've always appraised Dudley'Moore's works mainly the most awaited "Holly Moses!" which I've never saw twice, He often plays not so funny characters, although has smart lines, plenty of corrosive irony, like on Arthur a millionaire's son, who spend his useless life with prostitutes and getting drunk all the time, he didn't got faces his father sober, wiich make an arranged marriage with a shallow Mobster's daughter whose he doesn't love, otherwise he will lose a fabulous inheritance nothing despicable 750 million dollars, to make matters more complicated he ends up falling in love for an odd and unusual poor girl (Liza Minelli), apart all main characters who shine is undoubtedly Sir John Gielgud as the high class Butler with British sharp humor, having the mostly clever lines, even slapping Arthur when he needs, like a father, the Arthur's drunkard's behavior weren't funny at all, it scratch deeply the current view of Arthur as sympathetic character!!

Resume:

First watch: 1989 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7.25
