Editorial Review of DVD
Erich Maria Remarque's cumbersome novel -Arch of Triumph had proved unsuccessful to stars Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman and director Lewis Milestone when it was originally adapted to film in 1948. This TV-movie remake, which aired May 29, 1985, fails to improve on its predecessor. Anthony Hopkins and Lesley-Anne Down play the star-crossed lovers whose prewar romance in Paris is endangered by intrigue and revenge. Hopkins, a doctor recently escaped from a concentration camp, rescues Down, the mistress of a dissipated playboy, from committing suicide. Their chance for happiness is sabotaged by Hopkins' desire to wreak vengeance on SS officer Donald Pleasence, who is almost as excessively hammy as Charles Laughton in the 1948 version. The print ads for Arch of Triumph shamelessly (and misleadingly) suggested that the film was a reworking of Casablanca, complete with an artist's rendition of a trench-coated Anthony Hopkins. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
