Rating: Summary: One Woman's Opinion Review: My all-time favorite comedy movie. No matter how many times I watch it, I find myself laughing as soon as the music starts and the credits begin rolling. All of the characters are hysterically funny and were brilliantly cast.
Rating: Summary: Romantic Comedy Classic Review: No movie better captures the charm and romance of New York as this one.
The standout performance is, of course, Gielgud. I've noticed that whenever actors have done butler roles after "Arthur", there is always a faint echo of Gielgud's stylish turn.
Dudley Moore is utterly endearing. Watch for his piano performance during the movie.
Liza gives an excellent, underrated performance. I particularly liked the scene in which Hobson (Gielgud) pays a visit to the Queens apartment of Liza's character in an attempt to convince her to go to Arthur's engagement party.
Also, a winning musical score by Burt Bacharach, Carol Bayer Sager, Peter Allen and Christopher Cross.
Rating: Summary: Charming Funny and witty Dudley best Review: Poor alcoholic rich boy makes good. Dudley Moore was at is maximum charm with this performance. He brightened each scene with his antics and his subtle remarks. The man who never worked could have everything, including the beautiful Susan, a marriage arranged by their families. But then he met and unorthodox young female who had just been caught shoplifting, a common sort, and she changed his life.When I heard about Dudley becoming ill this is the movie I immediately thought of.
