Arch of Triumph (1985)

With a glittering cast which includes Anthony Hopkins (THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) and Donald Pleasance (HALLOWEEN), ARCH OF TRIUMPH is the tale of a Parisian romance unfolding on the cusp of World War II. Dr. Ravic (Hopkins) is a German citizen who has escaped the clutches of the Nazi's by fleeing to Paris. Not wanting to look conspicuous, the doctor disguises his true identity, and attempts to carry out his medical duties. However, one fateful night sees him come across Joan Madou (Lesley-Anne Down) as she attempts to kill herself by jumping from a bridge. Ravic prevents her from carrying out the act, and the couple soon begin a passionate romance. But both hide dark secrets from each other, leading to an explosive conclusion to this terse drama from director Waris Hussein.
