Arthur (1981)

Second viewing; first viewed in 1982, or, at the earliest, December 1981.

Arthur is a millionaire who leads a life of carelessness. He has never worked, and has a drinking habit. His father threatens to disinherit him unless he marries a certain woman. One day Arthur meets a shoplifter and falls in love with her.

Slightly overrated comedy which derives most of its hilarity from the central character's jokes. The plot is negligible and in fact severely absurd at some points. I mean, in real life they make you marry the ugly one and you fall in love with the pretty one, right?

Rating: 54 (down from 58)
