  • Summer Stock -- Pleasant musical comedy in which a farm girl (Judy Garland) reluctantly lets a theatrical troupe (headed by Gene Kelly) use her barn to put on a musical revue, then winds up the show's star. Directed by Charles Walters, there's not much plot but it's got plenty of music, notably Garland singing "Get Happy" and Kelly building a tap dance around a squeaky floor board and some newspaper pages, paced with intermittent comedy from the likes of Eddie Bracken, Phil Silvers and Marjorie Main. Enjoyable family fare. (A-I) (br) ( 1950 )




    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.
