Judge Priest Overview:
Judge Priest (1934) was a Comedy - Drama Film directed by John Ford and produced by Sol M. Wurtzel.
SYNOPSIS
Rogers is perfect as a small-town judge who metes out justice with a serving of common sense. Slightly dated, but full of sharply observed detail and rich characterizations. Worth a look for Ford fans. This was based on the stories by Irvin S. Cobb and later remade by Ford as The Sun Shines Bright (1953).
