Stolen Spring (Danish: Det Forsømte Forår) is a 1993 Danish film adaptation of Hans Scherfig's novel The Stolen Spring directed by Peter Schrøder [da; de; no; sv].[2] It was the most popular Danish film of the year and the third most popular film in Denmark behind Jurassic Park and The Bodyguard.[1]

Stolen Spring was shot in 1993 starring some of the biggest stars in Danish Cinema, such as Frits Helmuth.

The book is a collective novel [da; fy; no; sl; sv], in that the protagonist isn't a single person, but rather a group. Some critics think that the movie remake has failed to retain this and other thematics, and therefore does not deliver Scherfig's socialist message.
