Trivia

In the scene where Marty cuts the dress using a dress already made for Missy as her pattern, she cuts directly alongside the edge of the dress, not allowing extra for a seam. That would make the dress too small to fit Missy. See more »

Goofs

When Marty follows Clark into the hills (around 48 Min's)and watches him singing a hymn, the trees she watches from are in full leaf as if in summer, however on the way back to the cabin she is caught in a blizzard and has to be rescued by Clark. See more »

Quotes

Clark Davis: A man loses his woman, he goes after her. It's as simple as that.

Love Comes Softly
9 February 2005 | by (charlotte, NC) – See all my reviews

Don't try to compare the book and the movie. Just love each of them in their own right. The only things they have in common are a hand full of the names and the chicken beak clip. Neither one should be discarded because it isn't identical to the other one. I was thrilled to see the commercials stating that it was coming out. For some reason Hollywood seems to think that viewers want to see practically pornography and blood and guts 24/7, but sometimes you just want something calm. I love Dale Midkiff. I've been a fan of his since Time Trax and The Magnificent Seven so I was definitely glad to see him again. He makes those 1800's hats look...Wow! I would love to be able to collect a hug from him. This was my first time seeing Katherine Heigl in action, and I like her too. My only thing there was I'm sick of hearing women give birth on screen, but it wasn't her fault that was in the script. I wish I knew how to contact Michael Landon, Jr. so I could tell him about Lori Wick's 'The Californians' series and 'A Place Called Home' series. Also Lori Copeland's book 'Hope' would be a humdinger to film, she is hilarious. If you want a pleasant evening, watch this movie or read the book both are good in their own way. Rita
