NEW YORK (CNS) -- The following are capsule reviews of theatrical movies on network and cable television the week of June 10. Please note that televised versions may or may not be edited for language, nudity, violence and sexual situations.

Sunday, June 10, 1:30-3:30 p.m. EDT (TCM) "Desk Set" (1957). It's mind over machine in this breezy romantic comedy about an eccentric automation expert (Spencer Tracy) who more than meets his match in the mental prowess of the woman (Katharine Hepburn) heading the TV network research department he's been hired to modernize. As directed by Walter Lang from William Marchant's play, the comic battle of wits between the two leads is charming, genial fun, abetted by the kooky hijinks of staff researchers Joan Blondell and Dina Merrill as well as some satirical jabs at corporate manners and mix-ups. The Catholic News Service classification of the theatrical version was A-II -- adults and adolescents. Not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America.

Monday, June 11, 6:30-9 p.m. EDT (AMC) "My Cousin Vinny" (1992). Tough-talking comedy has New York college students Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield improbably charged with murder in the deep South, then defended by rookie Brooklyn lawyer Joe Pesci with a little help from girlfriend Marisa Tomei. Relying on blue-collar and Southern stereotypes, director Jonathan Lynn fashions a fitfully funny, fish-out-of-water courtroom comedy. Much rough language, a few double entendres and an implied premarital relationship. The Catholic News Service classification of the theatrical version was A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating was R -- restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

Friday, June 15, 6-8 p.m. EDT (TCM) "Dark Passage" (1947). Offbeat crime melodrama about a man (Humphrey Bogart) who escapes prison, is sheltered by a woman (Lauren Bacall) who believes him innocent and has a plastic surgeon change his face in order to find the culprit who framed him. Directed by Delmer Daves, there are some interesting plot twists, fine use of San Francisco locations and a good gallery of intriguing characters. The Catholic News Service classification of the theatrical version was A-II -- adults and adolescents. Not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America.

Saturday, June 16, 8-10 p.m. EDT (Cinemax) "The Bourne Identity" (2002). Well-crafted thriller in which a highly trained CIA agent (Matt Damon) suffering from amnesia after a botched secret operation must figure out who he is and why fierce assassins are after him as he is aided by a German woman (Franka Potente) whom he has taken into his confidence. Based on the novel by Robert Ludlum, director Doug Liman's film is both an engaging character study and a fast-paced espionage yarn as the ongoing chase scenes and chilling close calls provide suspense and deflect attention from the story's predictable spots. Recurring harsh violence and some profanity with an instance of rough language. The Catholic News Service classification of the theatrical version was L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. The Motion Picture Association of America rating was PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. (Two other Bourne movies follow, concluding Sunday, June 17, 1:55 a.m. EDT)

Saturday, June 16, 8-10 p.m. EDT (HBO) "The Mountain Between Us" (2017). The proverbial call of the wild sounds more like a roar in this trapped-in-the-wilderness survival drama, based on Charles Martin's 2011 novel and directed by Hany Abu-Assad. Two strangers, one a photojournalist (Kate Winslet), the other a dashing surgeon (Idris Elba), meet at an Idaho airport, anxious after their respective flights are canceled. She persuades him to charter a plane to Denver, where a flight connection awaits. The bumbling pilot (Beau Bridges) has a stroke and the plane crashes on a remote snowy mountaintop. The passengers, along with the pilot's dog, struggle to survive against incredible odds as predicable romantic sparks fly. A scary airplane crash, moments of peril, a nongraphic sex scene, two profane oaths. The Catholic News Service classification of the theatrical version was A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating was PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
