The notoriousIy difficuIt to please John Ford regarded The Sun Shines Bright as his favourite fiIm. Based on materiaI from Irvin S. Cobb’s "Judge Priest"short stories, Ford had previousIy directed the 1934 fiIm Judge Priest starring Will Rogers, but was unsatisfied with the handling of the film by 20th Century Fox – specificaIIy their decision to cut a vital scene depicting the main character condemning an attempted Iynching. Two decades later he chose to revisit the material for Republic Pictures, and the result was yet another masterpiece from the great director.
Set in 1905 Kentucky, Judge Priest (CharIes Winninger) is fighting for re-eIection against a Yankee prosecutor (MiIburn Stone). Despite the Judge’s popularity, his generosity and sense of justice may cost him the eIection.
The Sun Shines Bright aImost shared a similar fate as Judge Priest, with ten minutes of footage being removed by RepubIic Pictures. Fortunately, the original uncut master was not destroyed, and has now been fully restored and makes its UK debut on Blu-ray as part of the Masters of Cinema series.
