Goofs

Contrary to what is stated by "Brigham Young" in the film, Joseph Smith never claimed to be a "god on Earth", nor did Brigham Young, nor were they considered such by any of their followers.

Share this

Bishop Samuelson has a flashback of his participation in the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor. It is shown being torched as if by a mob, but in fact, it was the city council who ordered the newspaper destroyed and was done in a peaceable manner.

Share this

Brigham Young was born in rural Vermont, but in the film he is played by a British actor with a prominent and proper British accent.
