Hemo comes from the Greek word for blood and tonight's one-hour film is about our blood, how it circulates and what its functions are. One way of showing these things will be through the use of animated cartoons and cartoon characters such as Hemo himself, Professor Anatomy and the pacemaker. There will also be special medical films, and the whole show will be tied together through the appearance of Dr. Research and The Fiction Writer, as they try to visualize our circulatory system. The show will open with a Chronicle of man's knowledge about blood. Then animated sequences will show the heart pumping blood, the lungs slipping oxygen into it and other organs in the system functioning. The intricate system of tubes, arteries, capillaries, and veins, that conduct the blood on its errands, is geographically presented. A theory is offered to account for the presence of blood in man, and microscopic film shots show the capillaries in action. We see what happens to the blood in a knockout and in a state of shock. Dr. Research is played by Dr. Frank Baxter, who performed the same role in "Our Mr. Sun." Actor Richard Carlson plays The Fiction Writer. Written and directed by Frank Capra. Educational film from Bell Laboratories.

Frank Capra discusses a myriad of topics including the telecasting of the Academy Awards (too long), He states that when making motion pictures there are no bad actors, only bad directors...remembering making "Dirigible" (1931) and using "dry ice" in actor's mouths to assimilate vapor which created major problems for the actors. Favorite actors he has worked with...his first entrance in films as a director for Walter Montague making a 12 minute short film, "The Ballad of Fisher's Boarding House" in two days with amatuer actors, Capra remembers working for Mack Sennett and Hal Roach as a writer...his great five Oscar winning film "It Happened One NIght," at which time he thought this is the profession he wanted to be in for the rest of his life (up till then not sure). Frank Capra relates to Tom Snyder how he got a reluctant Claudette Colbert to lift her skirt in a scene. He states that most of his films had an Idealistic point of view focusing on the average man and how "lost causes" are never given into. The effect of Television is discussed and Capra admits that as marvelous as this media is he could never work in it because he would not be able to have the independence that he required to make a film of his choosing.
