"Arch of Triumph (1948) ... Ingrid Bergman ... Lewis Milestone (Director) (2008)", 9 février 2011
United Artists presents "ARCH OF TRIUMPH" (1948) (125 min/B&W) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) -- Starring Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Charles Laughton, Louis Calhern & Stephan Bekassy
Directed by Lewis Milestone
Dr. Ravic (Charles Boyer) is a refugee physician practicing medicine illegally in Paris under a false name. He saves Joan Madou (Ingrid Bergman) from committing suicide after the sudden death of her lover. He gets her a job singing at the nightclub where his only friend, Boris Morosov (Louis Calhern), is the doorman. Joan falls in love with Ravic, but he is deported and she finds herself the mistress of wealthy Alex (Stephan Bekassy). Meanwhile, Ravic seeks revenge against a Nazi officer (Charles Laughton) and war is declared between France and Germany.
This is a serious film made at the time of immense human suffering right after the 2nd WWar and shows the very serious attitudes of the people then. This is a film for people who value well made movies from a bygone age that had great actors and directors. The book is tougher than the movie, it was written by one of the 20th centuries great authors Erich Maria Remarque.
