When you travel alone, as I do most of the time, you end up in some hotel room watching a late night movie after a long day out traipsing about whatever city it is.
It is thus that I ended up watching a movie, which had already commenced. Only after some google-research did I realize that I had watched "Arch of Triumph". An old-school movie dominated by character, script and story. The Great Gatsby meets Catch-22. A gorgeous Bergman - is she a naif or a manipulator? Boyer, the consummate hero. And the exceptionally wonderful performance by Louis Calhern playing the Colonel.
Sometimes, you stumble and fall on a bed of roses.
