Amber bounces from one man to another in search of riches and social status, even though she’s supposedly in love with an absent nobleman-privateer Bruce Carlton. This flick is a classic bodice-ripping romance in many ways, with lots of implied sex and plenty of tits-out bodices. But she’s still scheming and social climbing and gets a tragic ending she so deserves. Claire, has only five lovers in the movie instead of 30 in the book and bears only one child. While the movie of Forever Amber (1947) doesn’t have the reported 70 references to sexual intercourse, 39 illegitimate pregnancies, 7 abortions, and 10 descriptions of women undressing in front of men that got the 1944 novel of the same name banned as pornography in 14 American states, the film was racy for its time.
