Nope, I’m not talking merely about Arthur, the hapless drunk millionaire playboy played so perfectly by Dudley Moore, but ARTHUR, the unbelievable 1981 film directed by Steve Gordon. Although I eventually got tired of hearing the overplayed “Arthur’s Theme” on the radio wait on in the early ’80’s, I really have not tired of watching this movie. It has weak surprisingly well for a film that makes such grand employ of the Fresh York City locations that existed at that time (not to mention the quaint traditional taxicabs) . This is a film with a basic romantic position that deals primarily with how treasure wins over money; however, this film never takes its enjoy residence too seriously. Instead, it has grand more fun with the assorted *characters*, like Arthur Bach (Dudley Moore), Linda Marolla (Liza Minnelli), the wisecracking butler Hobson (hilariously played by the extraordinary Sir John Gielgud, who deservedly won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this), Arthur’s dominating mother Martha Bach (Geraldine Fitzgerald), Arthur’s WASP-y bride-to-be Susan Johnson (a pre-L.A. Law Jill Eikenberry), Susan’s brutish father Burt Johnson (Stephen Elliott), and, of course, Bitterman, Arthur’s Chauffer (Ted Ross, in a considerable better role than the Cowardly Lion he played in the big-budget 1978 misfire THE WIZ) . Some of dialogue is classic, especially between Arthur and Hobson! Also, this is arguably the last expansive movie that Liza has ever starred in.
ARTHUR is one of the enormous comedies that most of the family can like. However, it’s not really for kids under age 10, as the language is fairly sharp and major spot points involve prostitutes, shoplifting, and in the case of the perpetually inebriated Arthur, alcoholism. In fact, when it was released, many people criticized this film for turning alcoholism into one astronomical running joke, as well as glamorizing it. This is what prompted the much-later sequel, ARTHUR 2: ON THE ROCKS, in which Arthur finally gets to experience the gloomy side of his habit. Despite its sober theme, it was actually quite laughable in its maintain fair. Unruffled, the novel is better, and is one of the mountainous films of the 1980’s. MOST RECOMMENDED
This is a nice DVD, if you don’t mind that 27.9 percent of the unusual theatrical image has been removed for the DVD exhibition, so that the DVD image fills your entire 4:3 television cloak (theatrical aspect ratio - 1.85:1; DVD aspect ratio - 4:3) . If you’re okay with that, luxuriate in!
