"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!
