Vincent Price as Mormon Founder Joseph Smith - Brigham Young [20th Century Fox, 1940]

 

In the 1940 film Brigham Young (also known as Brigham Young - Frontiersman), Vincent Price portrayed Joseph Smith, the Palmyra, NY farmer who claimed to have been led to buried ancient texts describing Christ's time in the new world. His 'discovery' formed the basis for the Church of Latter-Day Saints (Mormonism). The film depicts Smith's brutal murder at the hands of a mob in Nauvoo, Illinois. Dean Jagger played Brigham Young, Smith's successor as leader of the Mormons.

 During the early 1980's, the BBC produced a series of Gilbert &Sullivan operettas featuring celebrities in the lead roles. Vincent Price appeared in Ruddigore as Sir Despard Murgatroyd, a nobleman cursed to perform one evil act a day. The film offered Price the rare opportunity to sing, which he did very well!

Vincent Price's Last Bow - The Heart of Justice [TNT, 1992]

Although Edward Scissorhands [20th Century Fox, 1991] was Vincent Price's final theatrical film, his final performance was in The Heart of Justice, made for the TNT Network the following year. The film also offered the actor a chance to appear once more with old friend Dennis Hopper, with whom he'd previously appeared in The Story of Mankind [Warner Brothers, 1957] and Backtrack [Vestron, 1990]. Here are some publicity shots of Vincent in his final role.
