Wednesday in April

In image and sound, the film describes an average day as it is lived across the varied scene of the continent of America. Cowboy, farmer or urban worker, every citizen is free to weave his own unique pattern into the infinite, multi-colored American tapestry. Narrated by Lee Marvin.
