John Wayne Special "Swing out Sweet Land" 1970

This special is about America from the 1600's to early 1900's. Many famous stars of the 50's -70's play the roles. Michael Landon as Peter Minuet, Dean Martin as Eli Whitney, Bob Hope as George Washington entertaining the troops at Vally Forge. Even though this is a comedy, it is good for kids to see, because they do give a lot of information about the basic foundations of America. There are also good music performances by Johnny Cash, and Roy Clark. Broadcast only once thought to be lost. Now availiable on DVD from MPI. ****
