The movie follows Arthur, a sweet, somewhat pathetic character whose millions have left him lonely and with no motivation in life. Arthur is on the brink of an arranged marriage to a wealthy heiress, but ends up falling for a common working-class girl.

So little care has gone into the characterizations, the structure, and the situations that the film merely feints at significant comedy.

Overrated one-joke comedy.

Arthur is a sparkling entertainment which attempts, with a large measure of success, to resurrect the amusingly artificial conventions of 1930s screwball romantic comedies.

Only someone with a heart of stone could fail to love a drunk like Arthur Bach.

Watch and enjoy, but avoid the completely disastrous sequel.

No. 1 on my list of favorite comedies. One of the funniest ever made.

Moore is predictable as the spoiled scion of wealth, Minnelli is terrific as his candid sweetheart, but Gielgud's loyal yet sarcastic servant steals the film.

Arthur has endeared himself to millions of viewers over the years.

Mr. Gordon's screenplay is full of funny things, and it's beautifully paced, but it's the performances that give the picture its true classiness.
