I remember trying a few minutes of this film, I'm very surprised I didn't watch all of it, from director Steve Gordon, his only film directed before dying of heart failure. Basically Arthur Bach (Golden Globe winning, and Oscar nominated Dudley Moore) is the happy drunk millionaire with everything he could want, a mansion, a butler Hobson (Oscar and Golden Globe winning, and BAFTA nominated Sir John Gielgud), and plenty of booze. He is to inherit $750,000,000 if he marries the daughter of fellow millionaire Burt Johnson (Stephen Elliott), they woman he and the family have chosen, Susan (Jill Eikenberry). But instead, Arthur finds himself falling for Queens waitress Linda Marolla (Golden Globe nominated Liza Minnelli), which of course is threatening the inheritance, and 3/4 of his family's fortune from father Stanford (Thomas Barbour) and Aunt Martha (Geraldine Fitzgerald). After the death of Hobson, Arthur, on the day of the wedding, disobeys the family's wishes, but Aunt Martha still gives Arthur the inheritance to live happily ever after with true love Linda. Also starring Ted Ross as Bitterman, Barney Martin as Ralph Marolla, Anne De Salvo as Gloria - Hooker, Maurice Copeland as Uncle Peter Bach, Justine Johnston as Aunt Pearl Bach, Florence Tarlow as Mrs. Nesbitt, Marcella Lowery as Harriet - Martha's Maid, John Bentley as Perry and Peter Evans as Preston Langley - Party Guest. Moore is wonderfully funny and a little cringing as the almost always drunk millionaire, Minnelli is likable as the woman he loves, and Gielgud of course makes a great Oscar winning impression as Moore's humorous humble sarcastic servant, a terrific screwball comedy. It won the Oscar for Best Song for "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" (it also won the Golden Globe) (it was number 79 on 100 Years, 100 Songs), and it was nominated Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, it was nominated the BAFTA Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music for Burt Bacharach, and it won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical. Sir John Gielgud was number 35 on The 50 Greatest British Actors, and the film was number 53 on 100 Years, 100 Laughs. Very good!

Jag minns att jag provade några minuter av filmen. Jag är förvånad att jag inte såg allt. Från regissören Steve Gordon, hans enda film som regisserades innan jag dog av hjärtsvikt. I grund och botten är Arthur Bach (Golden Globe vinnande, och Oscar nominerade Dudley Moore) den glada berusade miljonären med allt han kunde önska sig, en herrgård, en butler Hobson (Oscar och Golden Globe vinnande, och BAFTA nominerade Sir John Gielgud), och rikligt med sprit. Han ska ärva 750.000.000 dollar om han gifter sig med medmiljonären Burt Johnsons dotter (Stephen Elliott), de kvinna han och familjen har valt, Susan (Jill Eikenberry). Men istället finner Arthur sig själv falla för Queens servitris Linda Marolla (Golden Globe nominerade Liza Minnelli), vilket naturligtvis hotar arvet, och 3/4 av hans familjs förmögenhet från far Stanford (Thomas Barbour) och tant Martha (Geraldine Fitzgerald). Efter Hobsons död lyder Arthur på bröllopsdagen familjens önskningar, men faster Martha ger fortfarande Arthur arvet att leva lyckligt i alla sina dagar med sann kärlek Linda. Även med Ted Ross som Bitterman, Barney Martin som Ralph Marolla, Anne De Salvo som Gloria - Hooker, Maurice Copeland som farbror Peter Bach, Justine Johnston som tant Pearl Bach, Florence Tarlow som mrs Nesbitt, Marcella Lowery som Harriet - Martha's Maid, John Bentley som Perry och Peter Evans som Preston Langley - Party Guest. Moore är underbart rolig och lite cringing som den nästan alltid berusade miljonären, Minnelli är sympatisk som kvinnan han älskar, och Gielgud gör naturligtvis ett stort Oscarsvinnande intryck som Moores humoristiska ödmjuka sarkastiska tjänare, en fantastisk skruvbollskomedi. Den vann Oscar för bästa sång för "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" (den vann också Golden Globe) (den var nummer 79 på 100 år, 100 sånger), och den nominerades Bästa skrift, Manus Skrivet direkt för skärmen, den nominerades till BAFTA Anthony Asquith Award för filmmusik för Burt Bacharach, och den vann Golden Globe för bästa Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical. Sir John Gielgud var nummer 35 på The 50 Greatest British Actors, och filmen var nummer 53 på 100 Years, 100 Laughles. Mycket bra! Vad är det för uppfattning i den här recensionen?
