I watched this over the weekend. I had heard of it. My Mormon acquaintance knowing I was a descendent lent me his copy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigham_Young_%28film%29What a disaster of a movie. One would have thought Mary Young was his wife and the others only concubines. They barely were mentioned and only in the context of showing how saintlike Brigham's first was was in "sharing."
Also, how many non-members went with the Mormons to settle Utah?
I need to look it up but where there an Angus Duncan? The name doesn't ring a bell.
And Porter Rockwell came off as some kind of guardian angle cowboy.
But vincent Price wasn't too bad a looker back in the day and a big man. He played Joseph Smith terribly. One would have thought he were playing Jesus Christ.
So, which of the elder "apostles" was actually alive in 1940? These men need to take Hollywood to task for rewriting their history. Oh, wait, they want to lie and deceive. My bad.
