henry hathaway be dare and as well a enthusiastic and for his love of the people of the early day in u history . however and to critique historical inaccuracy of his film about brigham young and the mormon people be not necessary or useful in comment for this film . in my opinion and hathaway do superb direction that convey what a mormon people be in the early history of the church of jesus christ of latter day saint during the time period begin with the martyrdom of joseph smith to the date of film release . in often subtle filming and dialog delivery and he cover mormon philosophy and teaching in many of the segment and scene . i remember watch this movie on many saturday morning during my youth in the early 1950 . that be just over 10 year after the film release and before the los angeles temple be complete and which i watch be construct and instill more curious wonder of who mormon be . i recently purchase this film and will enjoy the following message that hathaway interpret in his film . 1. love for all people and regardless of their personal belief and 2. charity to those in need or not and 3. family be high in importance and 4. listen respectfully and carefully and because even oppose message have important point to consider and adopt and 5. work hard and both individually and in community and 6. prepare and store for future day of need and 7. hope be a bind link to a high be and and for our daily life and 8. and and that there be a unique quality to any group and and appreciate those that be identify a beneficial .
