Inspired by the true story of the leader of the Mormon Church, this film features Dean Jagger in the title role. The members of the Church of Latter Day Saints are subjected to religious persecution by the people of Nauvoo, Illinois, where they've settled; so under the leadership of Brigham Young, the Mormons head west, facing tremendous adversity along the way. However, a gravely ill Young has a prophetic dream in which he sees what he believes is his people's promised land, where they will be allowed to live and worship as they see fit. Soon they discover the land Young saw in his dream -- Salt Lake City, Utah. Young and his followers settle there, but their hardship does not end soon. The first winter in Utah is cruel, and while the spring brings the promises of a bountiful planting season, soon a plague of locusts appears, threatening to devour the crops the settlers have just planted. A huge flock of seagulls arrives to save the day by consuming the insects. Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell play a pair of settlers who fall in love in the course of the journey. Brigham Young downplays the more controversial aspects of the Mormon church (particularly polygamy) in favor of portraying Young as a trail-blazing man of the land; in some markets, the film was shown as Brigham Young, Frontiersman.

The 1940 movie Brigham Young is a good portrayal of the Mormons and their journey to Utah in 1847. The film portrays the murder of Joseph Smith (the founder of the Mormon Church), the exodus from the settlement of Nauvoo in Illinois, the journey on the Oregon/Mormon Trail, the arrival at Salt Lake, the war on the crickets, and the developmen... t of Salt Lake City. The scene showing the war on the crickets is especially well done. Though the movie contains some historical inaccuracies I did find it to be a good depiction of Brigham Young and his leadership. In sum, Brigham Young is an entertaining film about a significant episode in the history of the American West.
