Jane and Emma
2018
- PG2018 · Drama · 1h 27m
United States. Jane and Emma is a 2018 American period drama film following a fictionalized [1] friendship between Emma Smith, the wife of Joseph Smith, and Jane Manning James. The film was directed by Chantelle Squires and written by Melissa Leilani, Tamu Smith, and Zandra Vranes.
- Joseph Smith was the Mayor of Nauvoo at the time of his death. This is one of the reasons that he was able to order the destruction of the libelous Nauvoo Expositor in an attempt to squelch potential mob action that the newspaper might incite.
- Joseph and Hyrum Smith’s bodies were returned to Nauvoo the day after they were killed. As it states in a Church manual on lds.org, “On the morning of 28 June 1844, the bodies of the slain leaders were gently placed on two different wagons, covered with branches to shade them from the hot summer sun, and driven to Nauvoo by Willard Richards, Samuel Smith, and Artois Hamilton.
- A funeral with decoy caskets was held after the viewing. Even in death, Joseph was not safe. As the film mentions, there was a price on his head, and the threat of someone trying to steal the corpse was very real.
- Jane Manning was born free. While this fact is described in the film as well, it is interesting to know that Jane was born in Wilton, Connecticut, and lived as a servant in a white farmer’s home.
