  • The Barefoot Executive -- The title character in this Disney spoof is a chimpanzee with an uncanny taste for quality TV programs. An ambitious office boy (Kurt Russell) uses the talents of his monkey friend to become the boy wonder of network programming. The movie is really stolen by dead-panning Wally Cox and a building-ledge sequence as well-timed and suspenseful as Harold Lloyd's silent comedies. (A-I)(G) 1971




    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.
