Brigham Young (movie)

Brigham Young (also known as Brigham Young - Frontiersman) is a movie released in 1940 based upon a story by Lois Bromfield and screenplay by Lamar Trotti. It depicts Brigham Young's succession to the Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church; see also Mormon) after the asassination of the Church's founder, Joseph Smith, Jr The movie begins on the American frontier in Nauvoo, Illinois in 1844 and narrates the difficulties encountered as Young lead thousands of Latter-day Saint (LDS) pioneers across the plains to settle the Salt Lake Valley in Utah. While the movie generally depicts the main events in LDS Church history well enough and sympathetically, its dramatic presentation inaccurately portrays details throughout.

The movie starred Vincent Price as Smith, Dean Jagger as Young, Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell.

FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address.

Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC.
