Dudley Moore (1935-2002) was an Oscar®-nominated English actor, comedian, musician and composer. Moore became known for his work with the comedy revue Beyond the Fringe. He appeared with another Beyond the Fringe alumni, Peter Cook, in many projects in the 1960s and 1970s. It was his solo movie career (Foul Play, 10 & Arthur) that briefly made Moore a superstar. His IMDb page shows 48 from 1961 to 1998. This page ranks 23 Dudley Moore movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, some of his early British movies and his movies not released in North America theaters are not included in the rankings.
From Joel Hirschhorn’s Rating The Movie Stars Book…..”Although British, Dudley Moore is really Woody Allen’s cousin under the skin. He flaunts his hangups and asks to be loved in spite of them. ”

Ah…the late great Dudley Moore. Thanks for sharing this look at IMDb of the past. I first noticed Dudley Moore in Foul Play. After Foul Play he had 10 and Arthur….and for awhile he was one of the most popular leading men working. Good information on him. Damn glad to see your computer is up and running….thanks for all the recent comments.
