Directed by: Steve Gordon
Starring: Dudley Moore, John Gielgud, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Liza Minnelli
Trivia: Dudley Moore received his only Academy Award nomination for his role as Arthur Bach in this movie.
Trivia: John Belushi was the first choice to play Arthur. Belushi thought the script was excellent but he turned down the role as he had already played a hard-drinking guy in ‘Animal House', and feared being typecast as a substance abuser.
Other mistake: When Arthur is in the bath tub, Hobson brings him a martini on a tray. Arthur grabs the glass. It shoots over to Hobson then back to Arthur and he picks up the glass again without even putting it down.
Susan: Arthur, a real woman could stop you outside from drinking...
Arthur: Yeah, but she'd have to be a real BIG woman!
