Summary: Beatiful music
Comment: I really enjoyed the film, though having not read the book feel unqualified to make comments about the screenplay. But as a professional musician I feel that I must comment on the music by Raksin which is the finest example of original romantic film scoring I have ever heard, helped by some sublime string playing. The violin and cello solos are heartbreakingly beautiful. Surely it's worth seeing the film for the music alone.

Summary: teen girls' fantasy
Comment: used to read this book every summer growing up, was thrilled when I found it in video format. Almost verbatim to book, great read, great movie.

Summary: Linda Darnell was a beauty
Comment: and a good actress. I saw this movie years ago on a Sunday afternoon when I was a kid and loved it. Ms. Darnell was so stunning, and the story wasen't too corny. She played a simple farm girl who had big ambitions. If you can look past the men swaggering, calling each other out and the laughable "Come here wench!" dialogue, it's really kind of a modern woman wanting more for herself than what men think she should have and be happy with. George Sanders is at his sarcastic, snippy and sleazy best, as the king. Wish this was on DVD. Enjoy!

Summary: MAKE SURE YOU READ THE BOOK!
Comment: I recently finished the 1944 book, giving it a 5-star rating. I was intrigued when I discovered the movie. It is roughly edited and the plot is very choppy. I was glad that I had read the book prior to its viewing. There are too many characters with little to no background explanation or development(and they all look alike). The storyline is abbreviated (leaving out major segments of the book and its plot development), but you do get some idea of the culture of King Charles II's court and times, and Amber's "Me 1st attitude" and total self-absorption. Not worth the buy, but rental an option for a rainy day.
