John Ford's The Sun Shines Bright

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Charles Winninger
with Arleen Whelan, John Russell, Stepin Fetchit

Forty years have passed since the end of the Civil War, but the Confederate spirit, typified by the amiable, ageing Judge Priest, still rules the town of Fairfield, Kentucky. It is election eve, and the Judge is up for re-election once again-but this time seriously rivalled by the State's Attorney, a sharp Yankee politician.
