The Sun Shines Bright (1953) 1080p Charles Winninger, Arleen Whelan, John Russell

A straighttalking, sensible public servant, Judge William Pittman Priest is friendly with most of the townspeople in his Kentucky hometown. The town s upperclass set feels differently, however, and backs a presumptuous Yankee newcomer, Horace K. Maydew, for the judge s seat at election time. Judge Priest has to use all his wiles to hang on to his office, while continuing to be a voice for the town s underclass and for democratic values.
