The Sun Shines Bright - Courtroom Scene
by Nicholas SammondThis is the courtroom scene from the 1953 John Ford film, starring Charles Winninger and Lincoln Perry's famously controversial persona, Stepin Fetchit. Playing his usual schtick of the "laziest man in the world", Fetchit falls asleep, only to be awoken by the judge's gavel. Adapted from a series of Irvin S. Cobb short stories, this particular scene features Fetchit dancing and playing the harmonica alongside the banjo player, singing together the Confederate and popular minstrel song - Dixie or Dixieland.
