One of the last few family comedies by a late great actor

"Dudley Moore was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy, which is a form of Parksinson's disease, at the age of 62. That's what killed him, and that's why he stopped doing movies. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed Blame it on the Bellboy.
It was good to see a much older Moore still getting good acting roles. Of course, he could never do better than his role of Arhur Bach in Arthur and Arthur 2, on the Rocks!
Blame it on the Bellboy is a case of mistaken identity. It's a cast of wildly unusual characters,like Moore, who plays a timid American salesman, trying to save his job by purchasing an Italian villa for his boss, who we only meet over the phone but grow to loath.
There's only place in the movie you might want to cover your child's eyes, otherwise, its great for the whole family!

Good entertainment

"Sure the movie is silly and the story farfetched and somewhat predictable, but it is good entertainment and joy for 1 1/2 hours."
Terrific farce

"This movie did poorly at the box office when it came out, and I could never figure out why. It's a splendid black farce of mistaken identity that never lets up; a kind of hybrid of French sex farce (think Feydeau) and British gangster comedy (think early Alec Guinness comedies). And it's a terrific sort of valedictory for the late, great Mr. Moore. If you love a good farce, you've got to see this flick."
Blame it on the Bellboy - Hillarious

"If you appreciate Dudley Moore's Comedy - this is a hilariously funny adventure - it grows on you each time you watch it!"
