  • Little Prince, The -- Musical version of Antoine de Saint Exupery's classic fable about a planet-hopping child prince (Steven Warner) who relates his adventures to a pilot (Richard Kiley) who's crash-landed in the Sahara. Directed by Stanley Donen, the result is warm and upbeat, with engaging acting, pleasant Lerner and Loewe songs and some clever dancing, but the story ends with a gentle let-down that may bring a wee tear to the eyes of the very young. (A-I) (G) ( 1974 )




    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.
