Part 1:
“The Thread of Life” dates to 1960 and was part of the Bell Science Series of films. The film is about heredity, genetics, DNA and how it works. The screenplay was by Rowland Barber, a writer perhaps best known for the 1960 novel The Night They Raided Minsky’s. Owen Crump directed; Robert McKimson directed the animation. This part of the show discusses natural and artificial mutations in genes and how these mutations can have positive and negative effects. This is shown particularly through how cells exposed to radiation reproduce. This is followed by an explanation of the discovery of DNA, which Dr. Baxter shows in detail with a model and animations of how DNA reproduces.
