Arthur
At one point during the production, Liza Minnelli was supposed to board a bus in front of Bergdorf's on Fifth Avenue. When a real bus came along, she boarded it thinking it was the "movie bus". Not until she was halfway down the block did she realize her blunder when she looked back and saw the whole crew cracking up.,Linda steals the tie from Bergdorf-Goodman's by itself, yet when Arthur helps her into the Rolls-Royce, he hands her a box that contains the tie; she still has the box with her when Bitterman helps her out of the car. When Arthur and Hobson walk up to Linda during her confrontation with the security guard, Hobson is carrying a bag with a large box in it. That's the box Linda was given. Since it contains the tie she stole, presumably the tie was put in that box off-camera.,Arthur: Hobson?
Hobson: Yes.
Arthur: Do you know what I'm going to do?
Hobson: No, I don't.
Arthur: I'm going to take a bath.
Hobson: I'll alert the media.,Featured in 39th Annual Golden Globe Awards (1982),Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)

Produced by Michael Omartian,I really wanted to like this movie, and it was OK, but it was not as good as O remember.

Plot in A Paragraph: Arthur (Dudley Moore) is a happy drunk with no ambition in life. He is also the heir to a vast fortune which he is told will only be his, if he marries Susan. He does not love Susan, but his family expects she will make something of him. Arthur does as he's told and proposes, but then meets a girl (Liza Minelli) with no money who he could easily fall in love with.

Dudley Moore's drunk act had me cringing, and found it annoying, yet his sober Arthur was more watchable. Liza Minelli is a joy (as always) as Linda Marolla, as is Geraldine Fitzgerald as Martha (Arthur's Grandmother) but it is John Geilgud as Hobson that steals the show (and rightfully took home the Oscar) that steals the show. He is brilliant.

This movie also features one of my favourite songs of all time 'Arthur's theme' by Christian Cross,
