although it most certainly politically incorrect to be entertain by a drunk and there such a charm to dudley moore portrayal of lovable lush and arthur bach one can not help but feel for this unique and wonderful character . how can you not be entertain by that infectious laugh and giggle and utter silliness . although i be not really a liza minnelli fan and she be really excellent a linda marolla and i couldn not picture anyone else in that role . sir john gielgud be the heart of the film and deserve his oscar . the rest of the cast also excellent and that great tune arthur theme and wow . truly this be one of the best comedy of the 1980s . great film get well with each viewing and that be the case with arthur .
