MOVIE REVIEWS
NEW YORK (NC) — Here is a list of films which the U.S. Catholic Con
ference Department of Communication has rated on the basis of moral
suitability.
The first symbol after each title is the USCC classification. The second
symbol is the rating of the Motion Picture Association of America.
These are the USCC symbols and their meanings: A-I — general
patronage; A-II — adults and adolescents; A-III — adults; A-IV — adults,
with reservations (an A-IV classification designates certain films that, while
not morally offensive in themselves, require caution and some analysis and
explanation as a protection to the uninformed against wrong interpretations
and false conclusions); O — morally offensive. The word “recommended”
appears behind the titles of those films that merit such a designation.
Here are the Motion Picture Association of America symbols and their
meanings: G — general audiences, all ages admitted; PG — parental
guidance suggested, some material may not be suitable for children; PG-13
— parents are strongly cautioned to give special guidance for attendance of
children under 13, some material may be inappropriate for young children;
R — restricted, under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian; X
— no one under 17 admitted (age limit may vary in certain areas).

"Radio Days" Looks
Fondly At Forties
BY TONY ZAZA
NEW YORK (NC) -
Writer-director Woody
Allen creates a tribute to
the 1940s in his latest movie,
“Radio Days” (Orion), a
loving reminiscence of his
childhood in New York.
Most of the spirit and
substance of the film is
communicated by the
soundtrack, which reflects
in music, lyrics and
dialogue the radio pro
gramming that w'as an in
tegral part of life in the
1940s.
With obsessive care for
period detail, Allen or
chestrates a tableau of set
pieces centered around the
impact which radio had
upon family life.
With the movie set in 1944,
Julie Kavner as mother and
Michael Tucker as father
convey the manners and
morals of the times. Aunt
Bea (Dianne Wiest) is look
ing for but can't seem to
find the right man. In
parallel action but
unrelated to the family's
concerns are Sally White's
(Mia Farrow) activities.
She is a typical 1940s work
ing girl who makes plenty of
mistakes trying to launch
an acting career and find
true love.
Except for a brief in
stance of nudity, the pro
duction is a heartwarming
reminiscence of some of the
best aspects of radio while
providing a humorous
perspective,of what it w'as
like growing up when radio
was a dominant source of
entertainment and infor
mation. The U.S. Catholic
Conference classification is
A-II — adults and
adolescents. The Motion
Picture Association of
America rating is PG —
parental guidance sug
gested.
Zaza is on the staff of the
U.S. Catholic Conference
Department of Com
m unication.
