Erich Maria Remarque Arch of Triomph. Remarque tends to be forgotten nowadays, but his books leave you breathless and usually sad: Remarque displays both understanding and compassion for his heroes, and then, there is fate.The movie Arch of Triomph (1948) centers on the love part rather than the political part, and you would enjoy Charles Boyer and the young Ingrid Bergman. Charles Boyer was the "French lover" in a quantity of Hollywood movies, but he was very different in real life. He committed suicide a few days after his wife died, leaving a note saying that he was unable to go on without her. Another actor did not commit suicide but also said he was just waiting for death and longing for death after he lost his wife (it is rare enough to remember): Vincent Price.
