1h. 30min. // In his film, John Ford interconnects three tales of “Judge Priest” to create a warm-hearted examination of integrity and local governance in the Southern region during the turn of the 20th century. Judge William Priest is engaged in various activities, such as uncovering the true identity of Lucy Lake, revisiting his recollections of the Civil War, thwarting the lynching of a young person, and competing in the elections against Yankee candidate Horace K. Maydew.
