  • "A small Kentucky town in 1890 is still divided by memories of the Civil War. An ageing judge at the end of his career is standing for election for the last time. Ford's acknowledged favourite of all his films is a leisurely reshaping in the McCarthyist fifties of his 1934 film in which Will Rodgers played Judge Priest. In retrospect Ford's conjuring of a poetic, idealised picture of the past seems tinged with regret, simultaneously a piece of 'nostalgic Americana, a raucous comedy, a caustic social protest and a Christian parable'"@en
