costuming,dancing and situations,the treatmentof this film exploits sex for its own sake.This offense isparticularly reprehensible in a motion picture,the principalstars of which have an appeal to young people.  \nTHIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED—Para.  \nObjection:This story about the degradation of the humanspirit in the face of environmental odds loses much of itsreal significance because,in his treatment,the director hashighlighted indecency in costuming and situations.  \n# CLASS C(Condemned)\n\nLA MANDRAGOLA(Ital.)—Europix  \nObjection:An adaptation of a Machiavellian satire,this film'smost obvious characteristics are prurience and cynicism,un-relieved by any redeeming qualities.In particular,its themeabout cuckoldry comes out squarely on the side of viceagainst virtue,and its treatment is studied voyeurism.  \nYOUNG WORLD,THE(Fr.)—Lopert (United Artists)  \nObjection:Although this film's theme about the fallacies ofthe\"new ethics\"which today's youth are experiencing isan honest enough insight,it becomes completely obscuredby needlessly detailed eroticism in treatment.  \nThe Catholic Film Newsletter alternates with the ClassificationList at bi-weekly intervals for a

by the Leningrad KirovState Ballet Company,oldest and best in the world,Beauty was acclaimed in the U.S.by a handful ofmetropolitan audiences in 1961 and 1964.Now itreturns on film,a wondrous
