An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Judge Steps Out (released in other English-speaking countries as "Indian Summer"), the 1948 Boris Ingster romantic love triangle midlife crisis lawyer legal comedy ("Rx Forget your family troubles... Forget your Job and Run RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! A.S. Boyd, M.D."; "..That's what the doctor ordered.. [and that's exactly what he did]"; "Ever wonder what happens when a judge steps out!"; "It's scandalous! Tongues wag and drawing rooms hum, when this prominent Boston judge 'gets away from it all' ...and ends up with his hands full - of a beautiful blonde!"; "The judge was very good as husbands go... and as husbands go, he went!"; "'MY husband wouldn't do that'!... [Oh, no?]"; "When a famous judge disappeared to keep a date with a day dream - his family and friends tried to laugh it off... but they didn't know the judge!"; "The story of a slightly illegal holiday that shocked the nation!"; about a Boston judge who is married with a grown daughter about to be married, and on impulse, he takes off for California without telling his family, and there he meets the beautiful owner of a roadside diner, and he becomes her fry cook!) starring Alexander Knox (in the title role as Judge Thomas Bailey), Ann Sothern, George Tobias, Sharyn Moffett, Florence Bates, Frieda Inescort, and Myrna Dell. Note that this is a very interesting movie that is almost completely forgotten today. It deals with a midlife crisis before people talked about that, but it is somewhat marred by its conventional ending (likely the only one that 1948 audiences would accept). Something else that hurts the movie is that Alexander Knox was prematurely grey and looked like he might have been the age of Ann Sothern's father, so the movie has an appearance of a "May-December romance", when actually, he was only two years older than Sothern! Finally, note that the movie was a troubled production. It was filmed in March 1947, but it was not opened until June of 1949, over two years later. It did terribly at the box office, costing RKO a loss of $600,000. But it is a worthwhile movie to watch, and I suggest you seek it if its plot sounds at all interesting to you!
