Not a great film,in fact I find it hard to empathize with rich folks who don't realize how lucky they truly are just being rich.So the only reason to see this film is a great cast that lends at least a gentle sweetness to a otherwise obnoxious tale.Thus my lowest acceptable rating of 2 1/2 stars.Also to warn you that the 2011 remake is far worse and should NOT be seen at all.The acting is superb with Dudley Moore as rich spoiled Arthur and wonderful Liza Minnelli as common girl Linda Marolla leading a stellar cast.Released in 1981 it runs a just right 97 minutes.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
Arthur is a happy drunk with no pretensions at any ambition. He is also the heir to a vast fortune which he is told will only be his if he marries Susan. He does not love Susan, but she will make something of him the family expects. Arthur proposes but then meets a girl with no money who he could easily fall in love with.
