Good Historical Fiction--Great Acting!, 18 December 2000
Author: engrtroy from Logan, Utah

Hollywood cannot do justice to History, but this was not a bad attempt. As a Mormon, I found it tastefully done and essentially accurate. The cast was great. Of course, many details were missing or changed, but that is the nature of history and this movie did a good job of portraying the emotions that bring history alive.
