The Sun Shines Bright
JUDGE BILLY PRIEST...the only man who ever called Mallie Crump a Lady
John Ford weaves three 'Judge Priest' stories together to form a good- natured exploration of honour and small-town politics in the South around the turn of the century. Judge William Priest is involved variously in revealing the real identity of Lucy Lake, reliving his Civil War memories, preventing the lynching of a youth and contesting the elections with Yankee Horace K. Maydew.
