  • No Time for Sergeants -- Drafted into the Army, a Southern yokel (Andy Griffith) gets through boot camp only with the desperate assistance of his long-suffering sergeant (Myron McCormick). Director Mervyn LeRoy's one-joke comedy hinges on Griffith's hilarious performance as the well-intentioned rube which finally wears out its welcome in a tiresome, overlong ending. Wholesome service comedy except for a vulgar latrine routine and minimal fisticuffs. (A-I) (br) ( 1958 )




    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.
