The movie was originally budgeted at $4.5 million.〔'Forever Amber' or 'Crime Doesn't Pay': In the Hollywood version the moral lesson will be underscored; Amber will suffer for her sins. By Frank S. Nugent. New York Times (1923-Current file) (York, N.Y ) 04 Aug 1946: 93.〕 The Hays Office had condemned the novel, but within a month of its publication the movie rights had been purchased by 20th Century Fox. In 1947, Darnell won the starring role in the highly anticipated film adaptation when the original star, newcomer Peggy Cummins, proved too inexperienced for the role. The character Amber in the novel was so called because of her eye color. Publicity at the time compared the novel ''Forever Amber'' to ''Gone with the Wind''. The search for the actress to portray Amber, a beauty who uses men to make her fortune in 17th-century England, was modeled on the extensive process that led to the casting of Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. The film's score, by composer David Raksin, was nominated for the Academy Award for Original Music Score. ==Cast== * Linda Darnell as Amber St. Clair * Cornel Wilde as Bruce Carlton * Richard Greene as Lord Harry Almsbury * George Sanders as King Charles II * Glenn Langan as Capt.
