In a lettermarking the tenth anniversary of the
Association of Catholic Motion Picture Theater Oper-
ators of Italy, the Pope expressed the hope "that
continued motion picture production be encouraged
to offer to the public, especially to youth desirous of
diversion, a fitting entertainment which not only may
delight the mind, but form it and strengthen it further
in the love of honesty, rectitude and decorum as be-
comes saints."

Pope John XXIH

PREFACE
Convinced that there exists today no means of influencing the masses
more potent than the motion picture medium, Holy Mother Church has,
during the last three decades, exercised a special motherly care and
watchfulness over the cinema. Ideally, as a gift from God our Creator,
the motion picture should be used by men solely for the good of mankind,
for "the first aim of this art should be to serve truth and virtue," to use
Pius XII 's Miranda Prorsus.
forthright statement in
In the same Encyclical letter the late Holy Father has specified the
particular reasons which prompt a continuing interest on the part of the
Church in motion pictures:
"Just as very great advantages can arise from the wonderful advances
which have been made in our day, in technical knowledge concerning
motion pictures, radio and television, so too can very great dangers.
For these new possessions and new instruments which are within almost
everyone's grasp, introduce a most powerful influence into men's minds,
both because they can flood them with light, raise them to nobility, adorn
them with beauty, and because they can disfigure them by dimming their
luster, dishonor them by a process of corruption, and make them subject
to uncontrolled passions, according as the subjects presented to the senses
in these shows are praiseworthy or reprehensible.
In the past century, advancing technical skill in the field of business
frequently had this result: machines, which ought to serve men, when
brought into use rather reduced them to a state of slavery and caused
grievous harm.
Likewise today, unless the mounting development of technical skill,
applied to the diffusion of pictures, sounds and ideas is subjected to the
sweet yoke of the law of Christ, it can be the source of countless evils,
which appear to be all the more serious, because not only material forces
but also the mind are unhappily enslaved. And man's inventions are, to
that extent, deprived of those advantages which in the design of God's
Providence ought to be their primary purpose. . .
."
The Church has never doubted the vast power of the cinema for good
but neither is She blind to the harm which this medium can do when
crass commercialism replaces principle and social responsibility. To
assist Her children in the choice of that which is good in this medium
of entertainment and at the same time to guard them against movies which
are not worthy of the rational nature of man theChurch has established
National Catholic film centers throughout the world. The National Legion
of Decency is such a center for the American scene.
As an agency of the American Hierarchy the Legion of Decency re-
views and classifies entertainment motion pictures. These classifications
are not legislative but normative, for through the Legion's ratings the
American Bishops desire to provide Catholics with prudent guidance in
their choice of motion picture fare. Considering the nature of American
motion picture exhibition which is not hedged about with reasonable safe-
guards for the young and impressionable, such guidance is particularly
necessary as well as useful for parents and guardians.
The Legion classifies films chiefly from the traditional Judaeo-Christian
viewpoint of morality and decency. Although the Legion's ratings are not
formally and explicitly concerned with the artistic and esthetic values of
films, the Legion recognizes that a valid moral judgment of a film cannot
be made in total precision from its artistic merits or lack thereof. As
such, however, the Legion's ratings represent a moral rather than an
artistic evaluation of films. Exception to this policy occurs whenever the
Legion publishes a positive recommendation on a film; such recommenda-
tion is made when, in the opinion of the Legion's reviewers, a film excels
for artistic and moral values.
In its work of classifying films the Executive staff of the National
Office of the Legion is assisted by the Motion Picture Department of the
International Federation of Catholic Alumnae and by a Board of Con-
suitors composed of priests and laymen. These two groups provide the
Legion staff with the competent consultative opinion of educators, student
counsellors, professional motion picture critics and others.
Classification of films is made according to the following categories:
A-I—Morally Unobjectionable for General Patronage.
A-II — Morally Unobjectionable for Adults and Adolescents.
A-III —Morally Unobjectionable for Adults.
B — Morally Objectionable in Part for All.
C — Condemned.
S.C. — A Separate Classification is given to certain films which, while
not morally objectionable in themselves, require some analysis and ex-
planation as a protection to the uninformed against wrong interpretations
and false conclusions.

tiveness in costuming, dialogue and situations. In the field of
motion picture entertainment the extent and intensity of the
objectionability of this picture constitute an open violation of
Christian and traditional morality.

be noted that the picture did not receive "Unobjectionable for
General Patronage" rating. The Legion, acting within the scope
of its mandate of decency, gave the film the mature audience
rating. Concurrent with this rating the following separate nota-
tion was released: "This film represents the personal observa-
tions and opinions of ex-Ambassador Joseph E. Davies as ex-
pressed in his book, Mission to Moscow, upon which the film
is based." For further clarification the Legion now adds the
following sentence to the above notation: "The film in its sym-
pathetic portrayal of the governing regime in Russia makes no
reference to the anti-religious philosophy and policy of said
regime."

Objection: The film tends to present as ethically justifiable the
deliberate killing of doctors, who, though the enemy doctors in
the film are depicted as bearing arms, by international conven-
tions are regarded as non-combatants. The enemy doctors, pre-
sumably from the action of the film guilty of murder, are sum-
marily killed without any judicial process, when they could have
been taken prisoners and brought for trial to the rear, which
rear, subsequent action of the film indicates to be still within
the control of the guerrillas. The film, in one sequence, beyond
a proper appeal to patriotism and the defense of homeland, pre-
sents an appeal to the revenge motive.

Observation: This entertainment film, noble, sensitive, reverent

found analysis of the essential meaning of a religious vocation
through the story of a person who objectively lacked a funda-
mental qualification for an authentic religious calling. If the
film fails to capture the full meaning of religious life in terms
of its spiritual joy and all-pervading charity, this must be at-
tributed to the inherent limitations of a visual art.

fare of youth.

Storm Center (Col.) S. C. 1955-56
The highly propagandistic nature of this controversial film (book
burning, anti-Communism, civil liberties) offers a warped, over-
simplifiedand strongly emotional solution to a complex problem
of American life. Its specious arguments tend seriously to be
misleading and misrepresentative by reason of an inept and dis-
torted presentation.
Note: A Separate Classification is given to certain films which,
while not morally offensive require some analysis and explana-
tion as a protection to the uninformed against wrong interpreta-
tions and false conclusions.

the solution of the plot still tends to arouse undue sympathy

suggestive sequences.

Third Sex (Ger.) (D. & F. Dist.) C 1958-59
Objection: The highly questionable subject matter of this film,

Furthermore, the thesis is proposed in such a way as to elicit
sympathy for an immoral solution to a domestic and social
problem.

This Side of the Law (Warners) A-II 1949-50
This Thing Called Love (Revised Version) (Columbia) B 1940-41
Objection: The treatment of the plot concentrates throughout
the greater portion of the film upon a marriage situation which
as screen material is highly suggestive and objectionable. The
film, moreover, reflects ideas contrary to the Christian concept
of marriage.
Notation: The many and important made in
cuts which were
the original version of the film have been deemed sufficient to
—
warrant a change in classification from "C" Condemned (1940-
—
41) to "B" Partly Objectionable. The cut version of the
film has been rated as Partly Objectionable because of the
original theme —emphasis on which, however, has been con-
siderably lessened.

courage and optimism, there are traces of deism and naturalism
whereby the impressions are gathered that God is a being far
from this struggling world, and that man by himself can make
the better world of the future.

t One film (.30%) was given a "Separate Classification."
In appraising the moral status and trend of motion pictures, statistics alone do not provide ade-
quate and reliable measurement. Statistics should be considered in conjunction with other factors
such as the kind and amount of objectionableness in a film rated in any given objectionable or con-
demned category. The evaluation of the situation must be based on qualitative and quantitative
considerations as well as the popularity potentiality of the subject, together with its thematic
character.
