      This movie is the product of the end of the 70s. Much closer to that than what would become the 80s. This has nothing to do with Back to the Future, Die Hard or Miami Vice, etc.

I want to thank Dudley Moore 'Arthur', Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor, 'Stir Crazy' (RIP), Michael Keaton, 'Night Shift' and Goldie Hawn, 'Private Benjamin'. The list could go on and on. Thank you all you beautiful people.

They were showing a double feature (duh) of ‘Arthur’ & ‘Micki & Maude’. Needless to say, we QQ were out before the 1st feature even ended🥱. This is the 1st time I’ve ever revisited that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    He wrote this song for the movie when he was in a jet coming into to New York City for a landing with a full moon in the night sky. As the jet banked to one side he could see the lights of the city on one side down below, and the full moon on the other side out the windows. The plane had to circle for awhile before it could land for some unknown reason. He had been hired to write the song before this had happened and this gave him the inspiration to do so !! Beautiful love song for sure !!

      Agree, we lost one the best composers of 🎶 music ever walking the planet. He wrote many other songs too, that he & other artists performed, ones I did not know at all, or that he was the composer. I got one glorious chance to see him in concert at KC's Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, already several years now. He told the story of being born & living his 1st year in in KC, MO, b4 his parents & fam moved west, I think- he told us that he thought it was no accident, that he was born on "Warwick" St., or Blvd. . Everybody knows he wrote many of his classics for Dionne "Warwick" in his early career, kind of dove-tailing his rise in the music industry. I agree it was a marvy twist of fate !!! Feel good & also melancholy songs for sure. He also wrote songs for The Carpenters, & I think was instrumental in their climb to fame.

    I recently hired a handyman who lives in my condo development to do some work on my condo unit. I can't begin to relate how excited I was when he told me that he is a cousin to Christopher Cross who co-wrote and performed the vocals for "Arthur's Theme." When he told me this I blurted out, "You're the cousin to the guy who sang the song 'If you get caught between the moon and New York City?!!!' " I was totally blown away as I've always loved this song!

    For me... When I look back on my life. (i'm in my mid 50's) I have what I call milestone moments and those moments have theme songs. This song is marked my transition from a child to a teen. For some being a teen would be filled with fun. I had fun yes but, I also started working. It was for me, the end of innocence. I had to assume a lot of adult roles early in life.

I was born a year after this film came out and I’ve always lived this movie and find I’ve even taken some of the mannerisms and ways I interact with people in my own life, women especially, based on the chivalry and gilded feeling pervasive in this film. This 70s/80s era in NYC may not have been perfect but there was something that exuded class and aspirational elitism that is tough to find these days.
