Grow up

Arthur (1981)

Written and directed by Steve Gordon this film stars Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli, John Gielgud and Jill Eikenberry. An immature drunk has to marry or lose access to the family fortune.

This is a fairly basic story of an unhappy rich person who needs to grow up and does not offer any amazing revelations. The most interesting relationship in the film is between the protagonist and his butler but sadly too much of the focus is on the less interesting romantic relationship. Liza Minnelli is an odd choice for the co-star in my opinion and it is John Gielgud who steals the show.


3/5
