Arthur's Theme - Dudley Moore and Christopher Cross - Night of 100 Stars 1982 

Its pretty cool when the star of a movie can also play the soundtrack. Dudley Moore a class act. The world is a little less amazing without him. RIP

October 25, 1981.. I had the first date with this awesome girl. 32 years later, she is my wife of 27 years. And this is our song. When she calls, this song is her ringtone.

1981 I met a young lady who was getting ready to move to NYC to pursue a music career. I was a young Sgt in the AF and recognized a good thing when I saw it. After a worldwind 10 week romance I asked her to marry me, since I knew first-hand that long distance relationships rarely lasted. We're married 30 years this year...who'da thunk it? Caught between the moon and NYC indeed. ;-)

Dudley...so much talent....we miss you Mr Moore

Dudley was the Hugh Grant of his generation...What a brilliant actor and classical musician...Had he lived longer, he would've probably become the most successful British actor of his generation and in his era, critically and commercially...Dudley's career would've thrived decade after decade, had he lived.

This song has, for me, always been the essence of New York. That is because on my first flight ever to New York, in 1981, the in-flight movie was Arthur. So Arthur's Theme is a constant reminder of that memorable trip. I grew up in the sixties with Pete and Dud as favourite entertainers in Not only .. But Also.... A brilliant actor and musician who died far to soon.

He was not a actor he was a entertainer rest in peace

love Dudley's smile, what a cutie!!....love the eye contact between him & Christopher.....thanks for posting this rare clip

still missing you Dudley I listen to this song when I wanna be uplifted.

Such an uplifting song from a movie that surely picks up your spirit!

wow what great chemistry .. love dudley moore RIP lovely man !

Its mydream to live in New York. The greatest city in the world.

Amazing! never seen this. Anyone who never seen the movie Arthur they agree with me afterwards. one of the greatest comedies and easily best love story ever. The premise of giving up 750 million for love is made believable by all their acting. Probably never be another movie with such chemistry between actors for a long time.

I love the bit after the first verse where Dudley's slightly out of time, and Cris Cross looks at him singing ," Arthur, he does as he pleases " with a wry smile. Absolute magic!!! Love it x

This is priceless, thank you so much for posting this. RIP Dudley.

This makes me cry

"Arthur"..with the late great Dudley Moore..is one of my all time favorite movies..he displayed a piece of his musical talent in the movie when he played his version of "Santa Claus Is coming to Town"..I always loved the theme song Christopher Cross recorded for the movie..the idea of both men performing this song on stage together was terriffic..Dudley Moore..RIP...

Watch this movie many times and never get tired of watching it. Miss you Dudley Moore God Bless RIP

Just saw christopher cross live tonight. He is one class act. I can affirm he still has a healthy fan base. At the end fans were storming the stage for autographs and such.

Dudley was one of the most talented people to come out of the UK and also one of the most underated esp by his own countrymen. He did far better in the USA.

A memorable moment that never happen again!!!

R I P. dud you will never ever be forgotten not ever!!!

1:43 the glance of a good man..

RIP DUDLEY.. miss you alot man..

That was amazing. I loved Dudley and miss him. He made me happy. What an unfair world. :(

Great song. Fantastic movie. A shame the bad luck that happened to Dudley.

God bless Dudley. You were unique.

how could anyone say anything negative about this??????Cross is amazing

I watched this when it was broadcasted. I was 11 then, and this was my favorite song. I was surprised and amazed to see Dudley on the piano that night. After all this time, I am still amazed. R I P.

Damn such a great version of this song with the big bonus of Dudley Moore in it

wow..back in the days when artist performs in an award night....

I love the song and the interaction between the two of them was great, I had no idea that Mr. Moore was such a great piano player Wow. Great video.

"when you get caught between the moon and new york city,but it's true", i really like lyrics" the best that you can do, is fall in love"

Well, at least we have a wonderful video of the great Dudley Moore playing his movie theme song. Very sad to lose him. I loved all his movies. He was indeed multitalented. There will never be another like Dudley.

Such a great song. And Christopher Cross delivers it with such a sweet voice. Great performance along with Dudley Moore who was such a talent. CC appeared with DM on the latter's show, and Moore seemed very gracious toward CC. In fact, while performing the song on Moore's show, Cross looked at Moore at the same time he did here while addressing "Arthur."

I'll never forget the sound of his laughter...so sweet.

Dudley Moore loved to play the piano. I never knew this existed. I loved the movies and Dudley's performance. Thanks for sharing.

I love this song :)

I was surprised too, but Dudley Moore was actually more of a musician than actor. Obviously he was more than brilliant at both.

cute dudleys smile

Dudley Moore was extraordinary.....wonderful video!!! Thanks for posting!

Dudley Moore você continua sendo o melhor.

Dudley is amazing.

Talent.... Pure talent....

I can spot an early sign in Dudley health wise but great tune boys, applauds to you both, RIP Dudley for his work.

Brilliant clip with two great artists!!!

Amo essa música! Cristopher Cross,sumido e Dudley Moore,que se foi tão cedo,ao piano.

what a great song .video ! such fond memories !!!!!!

rip funny man. you're greatly missed👤

Dudley un pianista brillante.Christopher compositor genial.

lovely film and lovely song!

Great! I've always loved this song but had never seen the Oscar presentation until now. Didn't now that Dudley played piano. Fantastic!

I've read the comments here. We all loved the original "Arthur" and Dudley Moore. I liked his small roles in movies like "Foul Play" and his role in ""10". He was an "Outstanding" piano player, but I've been confused about these stories printed about how he was at home. From what I've read, his past girls have said some "crazy shit" about him. Like making them dance all night etc. All I can say is WE MISS YA BUD!

I love this song

we all miss dudley

Good old Dud,fantastic human being.

No autotune necessary for real talent like this.

great video thanks for shared

RIP I miss him he was so talented

RIP DUDLEY!!!!!!

Una canción muy única .y no hay otra que se parezca. Saludos

Eu me lembro desse dia.... ou melhor dessa noite..

miss dud

Thank you so much for this video! You have no idea! Love it!

That was great. Thanks so much for posting that.

Every time I watch this clip I wonder what was going on between Dudley and Christopher here...some strange looks between them...Dudley so serious and sexy here....always loved that sweet, funny man ~~

excelente!!!

Dos genios...

Hermoso :)

mais uma vez: braavoo!!

Who cares I love this song and I love Dudley even Moore ha.

i'm not sure dudley was on bad terms with chris but instead wanted to show people that he just was'nt "that funny guy" so he refrained from smiling to show his other talents.

o filme arthur o milhionario onde o ator dudlei moore interpretou com maior sucesso esse papel,eu adorava os filme dele,agente tinha muitas coisas em comum,é triste saber que ele não esta mais com a gente,mais onde quer que ele esteja ele sempre vai estar em meus pensamento e nas minhas memorias, gostaria se posivel quem puder me falar,doque ele morreu e em que ano,um abraço! dessa pessoa amiga "SEM LIMITES P/ SONHAR".

I feel it too, Eric!

I don't think that anything bad is going on between Chris and Dudley in this. My impression is that Chris is looking over at Dudley as if he is the character "Arthur." Their was a TV special around this same period in time called "The Dudley Moore Show." Chris performed "Arthur's Theme" on it with Dudley. He looks over at Dudley the same way in that performance, at the same places in the song as in this performance.

I'm the girl who was caught between NYC and MGP1960. I made the right choice, and I'm glad I did.

Tight!

Yeah! This is true! Brazilian kisses 4U

A melhor coisa que você pode fazer - Tema de Arthur ) Oscar de melhor canção pelo filme ARTHUR O MILIONÁRIO SEDUTOR Finalmente você a encontra Um alguém que realmente te toca E quando você menos espera Você está fazendo tudo por ela Quando você acorda e aquela sensação continua Mesmo tendo-a deixado do outro lado da cidade Você se pergunta Afinal, o que foi que encontrei ? ( REFRÃO ) FINO DEMAIS.........

"sei essa palavra só tem no português " mais que saudade!!!!!! da música e do filme Arthur!!!!!!!!!

obrigado pela resposta gegomesbh,um forte abraço fique com deus...

@MGP1960 Love it!!!!

@MGP1960 Congratulations!

Pretty good live recording, but you'll notice Dudley was off timing a couple times here and Chris would glance at him kinda funny. Dudley was an awesome player but as he got older, his playing skills vanished. Arthur, Foul Play and the movie Like Father, Like Son were his best movies. We all miss him though. RIP Dudley

That definitely too, but my comment was in response to pagalley1's comment saying that Dudley was the Hugh Grant of his generation and I say again..Hugh Grant was no Dudley Moore.

@MGP1960 fantastic x

awwwwwwww.

GOOD: Cross is playing the theme...BETTER: Having the lead, Dudley Moore playing long side.

bedazzling

hey what's wrong with dudley?.. its a great song ever for me

Couldn't agree more, Grant doesn't have 1/100th the class that Moore had....

Chickenttt...you're a wierdo! Awesome video! Thks

Watching this over a few times, I get the impression that Dudley was in a bad mood. Halfway through the song he tries to wrong foot Christopher by sort of syncopating the tune which causes Cross to look round. Dudley gives him quite a withering look. Just get the feeling they did not get on.

With all due respect to Hugh Grant he was no Dudley Moore.

'muricaaaaaa

And the Worst Beard Award goes to..............[looks like a damn junior high schooler] Great song though.

Umm..you mean Russell Brand was no Dudley Moore dont you?
