  • Comancheros, The -- Outlandish but colorful Western in which a Texas Ranger (John Wayne) and a fugitive gambler from New Orleans (Stuart Whitman) join forces in the 1840s to take on a highly organized band of white renegades in league with Comanche raiders. Director Micahel Curtiz adds some romance (Ina Balin) and a lot of rough humor to the action formula with only middling results, though Lee Marvin has a memorable bit as a half-scalped gunrunner. Assorted stylized violence and much horseplay. (A-I) (br) ( 1961 )




    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.
