I don't know which segment of "it's a big country" Wellman directed ,but "My man and I" can be seen as an "illustration by example" .
Chu Chu was born a Mexican and he is proud to have become an American citizen.He believes in justice,he thinks that America is the most beautiful country in the world ("Take me to America the beautiful,says Nancy,I have never been there").A very unusual endearing character ,always with a big smile on his lips,even when people treat him badly,he epitomizes the American dream,but in an altruistic way. His pals who try to save him use almost Gandiesque methods,friendly persuasion.
Well acted by Ricardo Montalban who never feels down in the dumps, by Shelley Winters as a I've-lost-all-my -illusions girl ,and Wendell Corey and Claire Trevor as a divided couple whose redemption was completely unexpected.
Was this Chu Chu some kind of saint?
