Brigham is a 1977 American film which is a biopic of American religious figure Brigham Young, directed by Tom McGowan from a script by Philip Yordan.
The film starred Maurice Grandmaison as Brigham Young, and Richard Moll as Joseph Smith. In a 1988 interview, Yordan recalled he had written the film for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1] In fact, the film was not commissioned or funded by the Church, but produced independently by Church member David Yeaman and released by Sunset Films.[2]
The movie was released in 1977 and was poorly received[citation needed]. It was re-released as The New Brigham, and again in 1983 as Savage Journey.[3]
