Production
Our Mr. Sun is the first of nine films in the Bell science series. Production took place over a period of four years and was initiated at the behest of N. W. Ayer & Son, who were AT&T's advertising agency at the time. Working titles for the film included The Sun and Horizons Unlimited with Our Mr. Sun eventually becoming the title. A number of well-known scientists provided technical advice during the production of the film, which was later approved by a Scientific Advisory Board.
Although color television was introduced in 1953, most television content was still in black and white and the fact that Our Mr. Sun was produced in color was noted at the time by the Boston Globe.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”
—Ernest Gellner (b. 1925)
“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
