According to director Kieth Merrill [source]:
The First Presidency requested that all of the men and woman who played speaking roles be temple worthy members of the church. It was a formidable challenge. We were greatly blessed to find a remarkable cast, all but four of whom met the high standard requested by the First Presidency.
