Today I found out something about one of my favorite TV shows of all time.."Our Mr. Sun"

In 1956, I saw this one on TV. with my family.. There was something wonderful about it. It was science, but it was also very entertaining. There was a warm, kind of sensitive, and hopeful feel to this film. It was the first of a series of shows called the "Bell Science Series." There were four in that original series...What I found out today...10/16/18...Tuesday..62 years later..was that this one hour show, (that I really enjoyed and remembered seeing, I think I saw it 3 or 4 times) ..was produced, directed and written by...Frank Capra..
....I really don't think I need to say more about Frank Capra, but I did not know he was responsible for this TV show. It explains a whole lot.
