Another amazing film from the Centron corperation, "A Day Of Thanksgiving" is. on the surface a melodrama of a turkeyless family on Thanksgiving realizing that the holiday is not all about getting the bird (lol). But really, this film mostly is disguised as a Thank God We Live Here Instead Of Some Awful Communist Country film. This is abundantly evident in the "prayer scene" Daughter is thankful she can practice religion, little brother is thankful he can get books from the library, mother is glad she has the ability to talk about anything she wants, but the lulu of thank yous belong to the father who is thankful that he doesn't worry about who comes to the door "like a friend, a family member, a bill collector". A real amazing film, this film is HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!
