"It's a very tiny country... Rhode Island could beat the crap out of it in a war." - Arthur

Why watch this? You will love this unorthodox, and very funny, love story.

Plot Summary: Arthur is a kind, yet sometimes insufferably spoiled, drunk, living lavishly on his family's wealth. He is quite miserable because he does not love the woman he's obliged to marry. By complete chance, he encounters a spunky Queens waitress who steals his heart.

Dad's Preview: Dudley Moore hit his stride with Arthur, a role made for him. What a cinematic gift it is to once again enjoy the incomparable talents of Liza Minnelli. This effort is witty, quirky and wonderful. I particularly enjoyed Sir John Gielgud as Arthur's stern British butler, Hobson. He loves Arthur, but also knows when the boy needs a good smack!
