"Do you have any objection to naming our child Vladimir? Even a girl?" This movie is one "one-liner" after another adeptly delivered by the late Dudley Moore as the millionaire playboy trying to find love and happiness amidst a serious drinking problem and boredom. Dudley Moore is at his best an is the quintessential drunk in this one. Sir John Gielgud was phenomenal as the sarcastic Hobbes, the only person who truly understands Arthur and loves him deeply. Liza Minelli is likable as the love interest. This movie was hysterical and funny and unique. The strength was Moore's vulnerability and charm, even as a basically unlivable character. The music is classically 80's. The movie has held up and don't see the sequels or remakes. This one is the one to see.
