Arch of Triumph

This wartime tale of unrequited love is based on the phenomenally successful novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, author of the classic All Quiet on the Western Front. Set in pre-World War II Paris, Dr. Ravie, a brilliant German surgeon has fled to Paris to escape the growing power pf the Nazis. There he meets Joan Madou, a depressed, unemployed cabaret singer. Ravie finds her a job, and they fall in love. Suddenly, after being unable to produce his passport, he's deported. When he's finally able to return to Paris, he finds that Joan is the kept woman of a successful actor. Starring Oscar winning actor Anthony Hopkins, Lesley-Anne Down and the wonderfully evil Donald Pleasance.
