    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      To recreate the foggy British atmosphere on the set, the crew used a mixture which was vaporized over the place, but became rapidly laxative. As a result, half of the crew got diarrhea after breathing and swallowing the artificial fog.
    • Quotes
      • Lord Harry Almsbury: Amber, you've restored my vanished faith in gambling at long odds.
    • Crazy credits
      Prologue:  "1644--The English Parliament and Oliver Cromwell's army have revolted against the tyrannical rule of Charles I. England is aflame with civil war..."
    • Alternate versions
      A couple of weeks after its record breaking premiere, studio heads finally caved into Catholic protests and re-cut the movie. Among the changes:
      • References to Amber's sex life and any acts of non-marital romance were cut.
      • SPOILER: A new ending in which Amber watches her son go off with Bruce.
      • Redubbed dialogue in the form of Cornell Wilde repentative of his behaviour: "In Heaven's name, Amber, haven't we caused enough unhappiness?" and "May God have mercy on us both for our sins."
      • Also a prologue was added that condemned the character's actions: "This is the tragic story of Amber St. Claire... slave to ambition.. stranger to virtue... the wages of sin is death".
