Wem die Sonne lacht (1953)
Ironisches Sittengemälde einer amerikanischen Kleinstadt um die Jahrhundertwende. Der sympathische Bezirksrichter William Priest kämpft mit allen erdenklichen Mitteln um seine Wiederwahl und gerät dabei in einen Strudel von Intrigen. Doch Priest kann sich gegen die Anfeindungen mancher Mitbürger erfolgreich zur Wehr setzen. Der Gerechtigkeit zuliebe gefährdet er selbstlos die eigene Popularität und verhindert sogar den Mord an einer Unschuldigen.
