It's a Big Country (Movie)

1951 / Director: John Sturges, William A. Wellman, Charles Vidor, Richard Thorpe, Clarence Brown, Don Hartman, Don Weis / Avg Rating: 5.7 out of 10

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.
