  • Murder Most Foul -- Agatha Christie's Miss Marple (Margaret Rutherford) causes a hung jury in a murder trial and then tracks the real killer to a theatrical troupe headed by a ham actor (Ron Moody). Directed by George Pollack, there are the usual assortment of suspects and red herrings but the stage setting is rather fun and gives Rutherford the opportunity to recite "The Shooting of Dan McGrew." Enjoyable mystery fare and the violence is minimal. (A-I) (br) ( 1964 )




    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.
