WHEN LOVE TOOK WINGS (Released to Theaters USA 1915)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì  When Love Took Wings is a cute, comical short film and tells a good story. The portrayal is suitable to good. It is a Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle silent era film. It is an excellent film to include in academic studies of that period but also has retained its entertainment factor through the years to serve as a quick entertainment piece for the modern audience.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline A girl has sequential suitors.
