Few films banned by Decency Legion
Washington (RNS) –
Slightly less than 1% of the 530 films reviewed this year by the Legion of Decency were “condemned,” according to the annual report of the Catholic organization, released here.
The Legion rated 51.13% of the motion pictures it reviewed as “unobjectionable for general patronage,” compared with 51.25% placed in this category in the previous year. It found 38.11% of the films “unobjectionable for adults” and 9.62% as “objectionable in part.”
The Legion report noted an increased demand for its weekly list of films from USO clubs and chaplains in the Armed Forces.
