7/10
Another good pleasant family type film from Hallmark Television.

Love Takes Wing is one of a series 'Love Is......' made for the Hallmark Television Channel.

Now most of us know that Hallmark makes films for the entire family, similar to films from years back.

The executive producer is Micheal Landon Jr.; this is the type film his late father would have made.

It was written by Rachel Stuhler & adapted from the novel by Janette Oke,

Lou Diamond Phillips directed capably & portrays a villainous character.

Even though the setting is a small town in Missouri in the 1880's or '90's,it is not the usual type western that we know so well.

The acting is very good,The following have major roles Sarah Jones, Hayley Duff, as 2 very young Doctors. Patrick Duffy as very political small town mayor. Cloris Leachman (she may be in her'80's) is excellent as the orphanage caretaker. Jordan Bridges (Grandson of Lloyd) as the blacksmith hero. I do not know the name of he actress who has the main juvenile role, She is adorable.

Love Takes Wing is the sort of film that used to be on the lower half of a double bill.

Nothing great just pleasant hokey entertainment.
