ITV Saturday Night Theatre: Catholics (1973)
Catholics
For all real Catholics this movie is heresy and does not correctly portray the central tenet of our faith. I am very sorry I watched it especially on Easter Sunday !! I don't believe that the Pope would have ever denied the belief in Transubstantiation !!! Yes, I can see making sure that the new rite of facing the congregation for the Mass was followed and saying the Mass in English. But to deny what the Mass truly means is this author's misunderstanding of the events and of the Catholic faith. And to expect monks to obey something that denies what the early Christians died for is to make a mockery of everything Catholics believe and everything Christ taught. Christ gave us Himself in the Eucharist. Christ is truly present in the Eucharist ! Christ died for us and this movie denies all of these facts. This movie only goes to show the ignorance of people not willing to investigate the Catholic faith and to discover Truth.
The Wonderful World of Disney: Once Upon a Mattress (2005)
Truly disappointing
I am very sad to see that this is the state of television today. The original Once Upon a Mattress I saw in my youth was fun and innocent. This production felt it had to show our children that cheating is the new accepted way in life. Other inclusions of premarital sex, emphasis on the wedding night sex and a reference to latent homosexuality are certainly not what I want my children to see as a necessary part of fairy tales to make them enjoyable. If this production was only intended for adults, then it was utterly ridiculous and not worth the time to see it. I certainly would not recommend anyone viewing it. With the talented people that were hired to star in this production, a whole lot more could have been done to make it a classic.
