Dudley Moore has returned as Arthur, a playboy who makes it possible to laugh at the man who has everything. Only this time, actually four years later, Arthur and his wife Linda Marolla, played by Liza Minnelli, find themselves flat broke after a family business fadeal when his ther cuts him off from his inheritance. Vengeful Bert Johnson, played by returner Stephen Elliott, is once again bullying as the overprotective father who wants nothing but happiness for his little Susan, played by Cynthia Sikes.

But the biggest surprise is the touching return of Sir John Gielgud as the distinguished (but deceased) butler Hobson. He is the only man with enough savvy to place Arthur in the direct firing line of responsibility.
