Arthur

Newly Added • 1h 37m

Directed by Steve Gordon • 1981 • United States
Starring Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli, John Gielgud

Dudley Moore delights as the world’s richest and most lovable drunk in this giddy, bubbly modern screwball. He stars as Arthur, a spoiled, perpetually soused New York City millionaire whose family gives him an ultimatum: he must choose between marrying the most boring rich girl on Long Island (Jill Eikenberry) or staying with his working-class, shoplifter girlfriend (an irresistible Liza Minnelli) and losing his inheritance. For the first time in his life, Arthur wants something he cannot buy: the woman he loves.
