I had been hoping for a DVD release of "A Stolen Life" for quite some time so was delighted when I saw this release.The movie is about two sisters, one selfish and frivolous "Patricia" the other more reserved and Kind "Kate".Enter Glenn Ford at his most handsome.This movie was released the same year as "Gilda" with
Glenn aside Rita Hayworth, it was hugely successful so he was a hot commodity at this time as well as the always In Demand DavisThe good Bette falls for Ford's character and the bad Bette steals him away and they marry..Years later there is a sail boating accident in which the two sisters are on board leaving the The selfish Patricia dead and her wedding ring slips off as Kate is trying to save her.Kate plays it off like she is "Bill" Glenn Ford's wife,but all things are not good in the Paradise that Patricia had made of the marriage unbeknown to Kate.It plays out into an endearing and exciting love story.Think Dead Ringer meets No man Of Her own. One of my Favorite Davis Films,but then again I love them all.
