  • April Love -- Thin but pleasant musical romance in which a young man (Pat Boone) begins to enjoy his stay on his uncle's Kentucky horse farm after meeting the neighbor's daughter (Shirley Jones) and they start training an entry for a big trotting race. Directed by Henry Levin, the formula proceedings are held together by the easy-going songs, the personable performances of singers Boone and Jones and, not least, the lovely Blue Grass scenery. Wholesome family fare. (A-I) (br) (1957)




    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.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
