Movies starring David Landau

Biography: Hollywood character actor who, having screen-debuted when already into his 50's, appeared in 32 (!) films between 1931 and 1934. His performances were more or less wooden, but his speaking voice - that bassissimo voice - could easily have crumbled the Walls of Jericho.
Acted on Broadway from 1919-29.

Billy Priest, a proud Confederate Civil War veteran, serves the community in his rural home town as district judge in 1890's Kentucky with common sense and humanity. Priest's deals with everyone from the Daughters of the Confedracy to former slaves with humor and the same lack of pretension. His sister-in-law objects to his nephew Jerome's interest in Ellie May Gillespie, a pretty young girl whose pedigree is unclear. When the mysterious loner Bob Gillis becomes involved in a stabbing incident involving the honor of Ellie May, Priest is asked by a rival to recuse himself from presiding at the trial.
