It's a Big Country: An American Anthology
1951 · 1 hr 29 mins
Comprised of eight unrelated episodes of inconsistent quality, this anthology piece of American propaganda features some of MGM Studios' best directors, screenwriters and actors; it is narrated by Louis Calhern. Stories are framed by the lecture of a university professor. In one tale a Boston resident becomes angry when the census forgets to record her presence. Another sketch chronicles the achievements of African Americans while still another pays tongue-in-cheek tribute to Texas.
Directors: Charles Vidor, Clarence Brown, Richard Thorpe, Don Weis, John Sturges, William A. Wellman, Don Hartman
