| Arch of Triumph | comment |
Arch of Triumph is a 1948 film directed by Lewis Milestone.The story opens in 1938. Dr. Ravic (Charles Boyer) is an Austrian in Paris—Austria recently having ceased to exist after it was annexed by Nazi Germany. Dr. Ravic's backstory is somewhat vague, but apparently he spent time in Spain as a combat physician with the Republicans. In any case, now he is a stateless refugee, an illegal immigrant who practices back-alley medicine while trying to avoid arrest and deportation.Into his life wanders one Joan Madou (Ingrid Bergman), who was about to jump off a bridge when Ravic spotted her. He gives her comfort, and soon enough they have fallen in love. But there are some threats to their happiness, like Dr. Ravic's continuing statelessness, and the presence in the city of a Gestapo officer, von Haake (Charles Laughton). | |

Title Drop: Von Haake has to catch a train to Berlin, which is going to be one of the last ones with war about to break out. He gestures to the Arc de Triomphe and says "I will not see Paris again until I, through this arch of triumph, march." | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar | |
| Arch of Triumph / int_4b86a724 | comment |
Getting Crap Past the Radar: A 21-year-old woman dies on Ravic's operating table. All the explanation given is Ravic's bitter comment about how "we can't win against quacks" and the woman was killed by "a quack in a dirty cellar." The obvious implication is that the woman died from complications from a botched back-alley abortion, but a direct reference to abortion was impossible under The Hays Code. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Arch of Triumph / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Joan is accidentally shot and killed by her lover, Alex. The beginning of World War II has triggered a round-up of immigrants, and Dr. Ravic is about to be arrested again, his fate uncertain. The only ray of hope is Ravic's observation that, now that war has broken out, Germany's enemies might be able to use refugees like him. | |

The Von Trope Family: Von Haake is a big believer in it. He draws the incorrect conclusion that Ravic is a German aristocrat. When Ravic introduces himself with the alias "Horn", von Haake says "von Horn?", and Ravic nods. | |
