About this product

Product Information

In a 1972 interview, John Ford claimed that this slice of Americana, starring Will Rogers as the title character, was his favorite among his films. Certainly Rogers rarely found a part better suited to him than that of this humorous, commonsensical small-town justice. Essentially a string of anecdotes connected by the humor of the judge, JUDGE PRIEST features a plot that revolves around the legitimacy of Ellie May Gillespie (Anita Louise), a pretty orphan sought after by the judge's nephew, Rome (Tom Brown), a young lawyer. During a warm (quintessentially Fordian) monologue at his wife's grave, the judge glimpses local blacksmith Bob Gillis (David Landau) putting flowers by the grave of Ellie May's mother. When the aging Gillis gets into a brawl with three young men after they've cast public aspersion on Ellie May's virtue, the leader of the young men, Talley (Frank Melton), takes Gillis to court. Since Rome is defending Gillis, Judge Priest must excuse himself from the process. Despite Rome's best efforts, Gillis refuses to reveal his motives for defending the girl's reputation. Perhaps only Judge Priest can solve the problem. The highlight of this extremely enjoyable character-based comedy is the performance of the great monologuist Rogers, who spreads his wings wide in a role where he is basically playing himself. The unfortunate racist stereotyping built into small roles played by Stepin Fetchit and Hattie McDaniel offer an illuminating, albeit painful, window into a grotesque (and widespread) convention of the period.

    For those of you who are fed up with the trash they feed us on t.v. and in the movies, this is it! An absolutely wonderful movie. Will Rogers was a caring, sincere man who acted innocent and even naive in his movies, but actually was very savvy and made constant bold and valuable commentaries on social, racial and political issues throughout his movies using humor, music, historical recounts and more. My 15-year old daughter and I loooove his movies and this may be his best. Once again, he features Stepin Fetchit and the fabulous Hattie Macdonald with whom he sings some beautiful songs. Lots of humor! Most highly recommended movie! A welcome reprieve from the meaningless, even harmful stuff that's on t.v. and in the movies today.

    This movie shows what a person can do to help another person out if he or she puts there mind to it. I purchased this movie because it has old sothern values.
