The review of this Movie prepared by Jolie
"Arthur" is a charming comedy about a sweet, wealthy alcoholic playboy and his search for love and maturity. Dudley Moore plays the title character, a man who has evaded responsibility all of his life as his family money took care of him. But he is a dreamer and doesn't want to marry for anything but love. Until his family tells him he will lose his inheritance and be cut off if he doesn't marry a particular rich girl with an influential father. But Arthur accidentally finds love with a spicy, funny working class waitress (Liza Minelli). With Arthur throughout is his loyal butler Mr. Hobson (John Gielgud in an Oscar-winning performance), the man who loves Arthur like a father and is always willing to upbraid him when necessary. Mr. Hobson is the man who teaches Arthur the meaning of intelligence, maturity and strength of character. Can Arthur stand up for himself and for love with all of the money at stake?
