Stolen Hours (1963)
6/10
Strange Uneven British Remake of Dark Viscory
19 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The scenery in this movie is the biggest reason to watch it. Granted the story is okay with material done before by Bette Davis, but there are better reasons. Susan Hayward is 45 years old by the time this movie was made and considering she is playing the patient/wife of a much younger doctor, while she looks good, she looks too old for him.

The plot is much the same as Dark victory. She is discovered to have a brain tumor. She gets an operation, and it works, but only for a year. Then she marries her surgeon and at the end of the movie she goes to sleep because the tumor is back. She moves with her husband / doctor to his home town which has great vistas to see the Atlantic Ocean.

Hayward does a good job, but the script seems a bit uneven and contrived, so I would not recommend it for those reasons. If you have cabin fever, it holds up as a bit of a sad film, but it is not as good as Dark Victory.
