Song from a Film

There are so many songs in movies that are memorable that it’s hard to choose just one. I love “Cabaret” and the song by the same title but that is a musical and doesn’t qualify for this blog. However, that song describes is the sanity among the A song I recall as being memorable was written by Christopher Cross from a film called “Arthur”. He is a selfish, rich narcissist with beautiful women around him constantly. He was the toast of the town, knew all the latest jokes, but the guy had no substance to him; a grown-up child so to speak. Since he inherited the money from his father so he never has had to take or assume responsibility so he doesn’t. This is until Arthur, played by Dudley Moore meets a very mature and responsible woman played by Julie Andrews. She was the first woman to influence him to make a change. When you get caught between the moon and New York City, the best that you can do, is fall in love. The song fit so well because he had it all, but was very shallow and under-developed.
