Forever Amber - 1947 - 5/10

For whatever reason, I decided I needed to watch this cheeseburger.
Based on an “indecent” book, this “indecent” movie is little more than refried Gone With The Wind.
Amber lusts after Bruce, an indifferent cavalier, possibly because she is beneath him socially.
To elevate her status, she works her way up the male chain.
Linda Darnell’s beauty is well captured, and she retains a trace of innocence and hope throughout.
All of the men are fine, from lovers to friends to the king.
Except for love stud Bruce, who is stiff and dull (Cornell Wilde, no surprise). Their relationship is flame and wet wood.
Costumes are fabulous, sets are beyond cheap. Music overpowers dialogue at times.
