Hemo the Magnificent, presented by the Bell Telephone System on CBS, was a costly monument to the low opinion that some broadcasters hold of the U.S. viewer's intelligence. Written and directed by Frank Capra as the second in a special science series (the first: Our Mr. Sun), the film told the story of the blood and how it gets around.

Without orders from anyone, the crowd formed in ranks six abreast, crossed...
...Streetcar lines were torn up, pavement stones had been piled into barricades, great buildings had been reduced to rubble, and fires still burned in others. There was not a whole pane of glass in the city. Nor was there a single Red star to be seen, or a Soviet monument. Even the boots of the gigantic statue of Stalin had been smashed to bits. The monstrous leonine head, spat on and befilthed, had long since disappeared...
