Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) earned birthday boy
Christopher Cross an Academy Award in 1981, which he shared with co-composers
Burt Bacharach,
Carole Bayer Sager and
Peter Allen; not only does the song form the emotional core of the
film Arthur (starring
Dudley Moore,
Liza Minnelli, and Sir
John Gielgud), but it also serves a similar purpose in the stage musical
The Boy From Oz, in which it is sung as a duet by Allen and Minnelli (who were once married).
