Super cringy Mormon video from the 1960s. (Beware casual racism and blunt misogyny). It's a good snapshot into how Mormons viewed the world in the 1960s.

Even more obscure:

A 2003 remake of this film called The Legend of Johnny Lingo was directed by Steven Ramirez and financed by the Utah-based Tahitian Noni International.

I assumed that was a movie created to hide the existence of the 1960s film, just like "Meet the Mormons" was created to hide the existence of the critical "Meet the Mormons" movie made by someone outside of their church.
