It's a Big Country

A world of entertainment from M-G-M!

An American propaganda anthology comprising eight unconnected episodes of varying quality, showcasing some of MGM's top directors, screenwriters, and actors, with narration by Louis Calhern. A university professor's lecture provides the framing device. Among the segments, a Boston resident grows angry when the census fails to record her presence, another highlights the achievements of African Americans, and a third offers a tongue-in-cheek homage to Texas.
