(Learn More) Forever Amber, the 1947 Otto Preminger historical medieval England romantic melodrama (produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; "From the novel by Kathleen Winsor"; "Screen Play by Philip Dunne & Ring Lardner, Jr."; set in 1660 England, about a country girl who literally sleeps her way to nobility, but sacrifices much, including her true love, in the process) starring Linda Darnell (in the title role "as Amber"), Cornel Wilde ("as Bruce Carlton"), Richard Greene ("as Lord Almsbury"), George Sanders ("as King Charles II"), Glenn Langan, Richard Haydn, Jessica Tandy, Anne Revere, and John Russell. Note that this novel was very controversial when it was published, and it was thought at first to be unfilmable, and the Breen office objected to many elements of the movie, and Fox made many changes to the film because of that. Also note that Peggy Cummins was originally cast in the lead role, and she was brought from England to the U.S. specifically for this movie. But when the movie was delayed over the censorship objections, it was decided that Cummins was not well enough known in America, and Linda Darnell was recast in her place. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The covers were mostly separated at the spine with some small tears and creases down the spine. Someone put tape on that area, which has yellowed. There are scuffs scattered on the cover. The rest of the pressbook and the large supplement, which is the "advertising campaign", are in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
