Gift of Harvest (Du Pont film OW narrated) - Any info?

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but I came across something with Welles that I can't find any further information about and I'm curious if anyone may know about this particular film.

While looking at the online listing of the Hagley Museum and Library special collections (Wilmington, DE) as I continue my search into OW and Paul Masson wines, I came across a film in their Du Pont films and commercials archive called A Gift of Harvest. You can find it on this page:

The entry points out that the film is narrated by Welles and directed by Ann Eisner and Lee R. Bobker. Considering Bobker is an Academy Award nominee, I thought it was odd that I can't find anything further on the film. Internet searches have turned up nothing.

So I guess I'm wondering if anyone else knows about this beyond what is in the entry? I don't know if it is a big deal, but it has certainly piqued my interest. Might plot a trip to Wilmington just to view the film. Even if it is a bust there are still films in that archive with the Muppets and archival material about Paul Masson wine campaigns.
