Arch of Triumph

1984 · 1h 33m · Drama, Romance, TV Movie

IMDb 5.5

Anthony Hopkins and Lesley-Anne Down can't save this ponderous take on a classic wartime romance—a 5.5 IMDb score tells you the TV movie adaptation never finds its footing. Skip it and watch the 1948 original with Ingrid Bergman instead.

Plot

A 1985 British made-for-television film based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, which was previously adapted in 1948 for a film of the same name with Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. Dr. Ravic (Anthony Hopkins) is an Austrian doctor who helps Jews escape from the Nazis. In 1939, he meets Joan Madou (Lesley-Anne Down), a woman he saves from suicide, and their relationship flourishes until he is arrested as a refugee without documentation and realizes he has some unfinished business with the Nazis. After a prolonged separation, without explanation, the two are finally reunited and struggle to put their relationship back on the right course as mayhem breaks out all around them.
