Directed by the Late Steve Gordon, 'Arthur' is a Funny and Charming Romantic-Comedy, that turns out to be a memorable watch. Even the performances here are super!
Dudley Moore stars as 'Arthur', A drunken millionaire playboy from New York City who is on the brink of an arranged marriage to a wealthy heiress, but ends up falling for a common working-class girl from Queens, played by Liza Minnelli.
Steve Gordon's Writing is solid, at most places and offers some really entertaining & interesting moments. But, the pacing is a bit slow. Especially, in the first hour. Gordon's direction is as good as his writing. Cinematography & Editing are fine. Music by Burt Bacharach, is lovely.
Performance-Wise: Late Dudley Moore has a blast playing 'Arthur'. Liza Minnell is convincing. The Late Great, John Gielgud, is amazing, in an Oscar-Winning performance. He is the real scene stealer here! Jill Eikenberry is efficient. Others lend good support.
On the whole, If your looking for some Neat and Clean Humor, pinched with some Romance, then 'Arthur' is meant for you.
