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.
It's a Big Country was directed by John Sturges, Charles Vidor, Richard Thorpe, Clarence Brown, Don Weis, William A. Wellman and Don Hartman.
It's a Big Country runs for 1h 29min, and was released in 1951.
