  • Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick -- Lackluster musical comedy set in the 1890s with a country lass (Dinah Shore) off to Chicago after selling her farm to a slick operator (Robert Merrill) who expects to strike oil but doesn't, then schemes to get his money back until her rural beau (Alan Young) comes to town. Director Claude Binyon's broad, tongue-in-cheek tale of rural folk outsmarting city slickers lacks charm and has little appeal beyond cornball humor and forgettable songs. Romantic complications and confidence schemes. (A-II) (1952)




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
