cial classification rather than

condemned pictures by the
National Legion Of Decency.
OF it, the Legion DEGREES:
Observation: Thematical-
ly this film is a bitter attack
upon the debauchery and
degradation Of a hedonistic
society Of leisure and abun-
dance; modern paganism
with all its sinful catalogue
of pleasure-seeking, hypoc-
risy, cynicism and SELFISH
ness Is appallingly and over
poweringly exposed in the
most unflattering possible
Fight. BY Inference at least
the film Is also a denuncia-
ton Of the creeping paralysis
Of decadence wherever it is
taking hold Of our modern
civilization. Although some-
times coarsely stated and per-
haps exaggerated, this theme
Is animated throughout by q
moral spirit.
Shock Not Exploited
I'm the cinematic develop
Inent Of this theme the film
maker has made use Of some
times highly sensational sub
1ect matter. These shocking
scenes, however, are never
exploited for sensual delight;
on the contrary, their shock
value is intended to generate

aS evil, Of sin as SIM"
On this observation, the
Legion recommends the film
Exclusively to mature adult
audiences"
Whose members, no doubt,
