Le soleil brille pour tout le monde (1953)
1905, dans le Kentucky. Pour la troisième fois de sa carrière, le juge Priest se présente aux élections contre son habituel rival, l'arrogant Horace K. Maydow. Il lui faut jongler avec la campagne électorale et ses devoirs de juge, qu'il continue pourtant d'assumer en son âme et conscience, fidèle à ses principes moraux et à ses convictions humanistes. Les plus sectaires n'apprécient guère les prises de position tranchées de l'homme de loi. Mais, hostile à toute démagogie et au risque de perdre des voix, Priest refuse la compromission. Il préserve ainsi du lynchage un Noir accusé de viol, veille à ce que soit exaucé le dernier vœu d'une prostituée et lave un ancien combattant sudiste des calomnies dont on l'a souillé…
