Though this sex education film concentrates on presenting the anatomy and physiology of human reproduction in sober medical terms, its release kicked off a controversy in many American cities and towns over the legitimacy of sex education in the public schools. The film is narrated from the point of view of an adult who tries to decide how to answer his son's natural questions about sex and reproduction. With excellent diagrams of the reproductive process. 1947 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ B&W Sd prelinger 2002-07-16 00:00:00 N/A 0 21:24 "The development of a foetus [fetus] is followed in detail, and the absence of a common bloodstream is emphasized." "presents vital information accurately and in good taste" Ken Smith sez: Little Johnny Burke asks his dad where babies come from. "From the grace of heaven," dad chuckles, but Johnny is not so easily dissuaded. "What would you reply?" asks the narrator, and this straightforward film then attempts to give us the answer. Through the use of animation, we see wiggly sperm, ovulating eggs, and ink wash illustrations of babies growing in the womb. But are you really going to tell your kid; "Then the walls of the uterus become engorged with blood and fluids"? Good luck. Remade in 1966.
