Cuddly Dudley revitalised his comic career for a while at least in this successful 80s comedy. It's the tale of drunk playboy Arthur (Moore), who attempts to sober up and mend his ways in order to get his hands on an inheritance, and land a rich wife into the bargain.
While Dudley's booze-sodden antics tire after a while, there's relief in the form of John Gielgud as the old-fashioned English butler with a nice line in four-letter words, and a return to the screen from Liza Minelli, who plays the waitress Arthur falls in love with.
