Based on Irvin S. Cobb's brief histories of the homespun Kentucky judge, it shows Will Rogers' native American humor at its best. "Judge Priest" is also fortunate in its staging and in the superior direction of John Ford. It has the mellowness of the judge's favorite brand of corn whisky, the sentimental warmth of the honeysuckle outside his front porch and the plaintive melancholy of the Priest whippoorwills.
