Arch of Triumph (1948 Lewis Milestone)

Dispassionate, atmospheric, long, cusp-of-war drama-romance-not-quite-revenge thriller, set in William Cameron Menzies' artful Paris, weighed down by annoying heroine. Based on Erich Maria Remarque novel, so gutsy. Liked the opening montage of Charles Laughton the torturing Nazi. With Charles Boyer, Bergman, Louis Calhern, Curt Bois.
