Arthur Bach (Dudley Moore) is a spoiled alcoholic from New York City who likes to be driven in his chauffeured Rolls-Royce through Central Park. Arthur is heir to a portion of his family's vast fortune, which he is told will be his only if he marries the upper class Susan Johnson (Jill Eikenberry), the daughter of a business acquaintance of his father. He does not love Susan, but his family feels she will make him finally grow up. During a shopping trip in Manhattan, accompanied by his valet Hobson (John Gielgud), Arthur witnesses a young woman, Linda Morolla (Liza Minnelli), shoplifting a necktie. He intercedes with the store security guard (Irving Metzman) on her behalf, and later asks her for a date. Despite his attraction to her, Arthur remains pressured by his family to marry Susan.

Genres: Comedy,I'd like to tell ya
What you want to hear
I've made some changes
In this past year
It's so very simple yet
I'm so confused
My mind is so tired
My body is bruised
You don't know a thing if you're asking
You don't have a clue if you never knew
I'm cold I'm old
I know I've been told
One too many times
One too many times
Sit back relax
No interest no tax
One hand on my shoulder
