The Sun Shines Bright
JUDGE BILLY PRIEST...the only man who ever called Mallie Crump a Lady
Directed by John Ford
Produced by Argosy Pictures, Republic Pictures
A warmhearted small-town drama centered on a compassionate judge navigating moral crises—lynching, identity, and Civil War memory—with humor and grace in turn-of-the-century Kentucky.
With the election approaching, a judge in a Southern town at the turn of the 20th century is involved variously in revealing the real identity of a young woman, reliving his Civil War memories, and preventing the lynching of an African youth.
