Informative filming of the process one couple go through in preparation for the birth of their first child. They consult a reputable doctor early and often as the film follows them stage by stage to the delivery. Shocking highlight is viewing the actual birth, now commonplace in both
television and film. Production is way ahead of its time, offering educational value and wisdom on a subject once confined to intimate discussion mainly among women, since men were not then allowed in the delivery room. This film was subjected to censorship when released for commercial play.
