  • Dark Journey -- Muddled spy melodrama of World War I follows two master agents (Vivien Leigh and Conrad Veidt) to neutral Stockholm where they fall in love, though on opposite sides. Director Victor Saville's shadowy tale of spy and counterspy is filled with period detail and a properly tense atmosphere but the bittersweet romance of the two secret agents seems as counterfeit as their assumed identities. Wartime menace and romantic complications. (A-II) (br) 1937




    Movies have been evaluated by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop's Office for Film and Broadcasting according to artistic merit and moral suitability. The reviews include the USCCB 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;
    • A-IV**
    • L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    • O -- morally offensive.
    ** Discontinued classification. All archived movies that were originally in the A-IV category are now classified as L.
