Arthur... Bach? Is that the reference?

I had to dig really hard to find this one. Why is he so well known to you?

I mean it's a movie with the exact same title as the show everyone is talking about? Doesn't seem like that much of a deep cut

...Arthur, from 1981. Like I said, it has the same title as the show? Am I being trolled?

Oh!! Sorry - I thought the OP was referring to a real person called Arthur Bach.

I actually finally googled it and realized it's just a film, from 1981 as you say. OP is not a connoisseur of the NY Social Elite... he just watched films as a kid

Sorry for the mixup!

No problem haha. There's actually an obituary for an Arthur Bach from Manhattan who supposedly worked on the world trade center, that came up when I googled it, but idk if it's real or if it's an AI misunderstanding because it only shows up on one site.

Not really sure. I'm middle aged so maybe that's a factor? Funny thing is I've never actually seen either of those movies. I guess I have a fairly good memory for useless trivia.

Or you're a Christopher Cross fan?
