The original film made in 1948 of Erich Maria Remarque's famous book starred Ingrid Bergman as Joan Madou and Charles Boyer as Dr. Ravic, whereas this 1985 made-for-television film starred Anthony Hopkins. I liked Anthony Hopkins better, and not just because his is freely available on YouTube.
It was a pleasant 94 minutes spent in the Clubhouse by the pond, with the help of some wine and some early "Weihnachtsstollen" from ALDI. Hope you like it as well!
