The National Legion of Decency, founded in 1933 as the Catholic Legion of Decency, was dedicated to combating objectionable content in motion pictures (often of a sexual nature) from the viewpoint of the Catholic Church. The Legion distributed a list of ratings for films, classifying them as A (morally unobjectionable), B (morally objectionable in part) or C (condemned). Each Thursday in March, TCM explores films that were condemned or found objectionable by this influential organization. This "Spotlight" is co-hosted by Sister Rose Pacatte, a member of the Daughters of St. Paul and the founding director of the Pauline Center for Media Studies in Culver City, CA. 

The festival is arranged roughly by decades, from the Barbara Stanwyck vehicle Baby Face, in which the star uses sexuality to get ahead; to Those Lips Those Eyes, a comedy portraying the sexual initiation of a young man. Other titles include The Outlaw with jane Russell romping in a haystack with provacative cleavage; And God Created Woman, the French film that created Brigitte Bardot's "sex kitten" image; and Kiss Me Stupid, Billy Wilder's comedy about a singer who must have sex regularly to avoid headaches. Other films include Strange Cargo and The Moon is Blue.
