Forever Amber

England in the years after the Civil War, and Amber St. Clair (Linda Darnell), an orphan raised by farmers, has made up her mind to be a lady. When a party of cavaliers rides through her town, she slips away with them to London and the court of King Charles II (George Sanders). Otto Preminger's film treats ambition as a hunger, and Amber's is for rank and money, which she is willing to take from anyone who has them.
