The notoriousIy difficuIt to please John Ford regarded The Sun Shines Bright as his favourite fiIm. Based on materiaI from lrvin S. Cobb’s "Judge Priest"short stories, Ford had previously directed the 1934 film Judge Priest starring Will Rogers, but was unsatisfied with the handIing of the fiIm by 20th Century Fox – specificalIy their decision to cut a vitaI scene depicting the main character condemning an attempted lynching. Two decades Iater he chose to revisit the material for RepubIic Pictures, and the resuIt was yet another masterpiece from the great director.
Set in 1905 Kentucky, Judge Priest (Charles Winninger) is fighting for re-election against a Yankee prosecutor (Milburn Stone). Despite the Judge’s popularity, his generosity and sense of justice may cost him the election.
The Sun Shines Bright almost 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.
