Sex & Nudity

  • PG-Mild Disturbing Content and Some Innuendo
  • Some sexual innuendo in the dialog (which would probably go unnoticed by most children and teenagers).
  • Some very decent visual erotic symbolism (consistent with the Freudian theme of the film).
  • Several kisses.
  • A verbal reference to a woman "with hardly anything on". (The subsequent picturization of this shows a woman in a kind of bikini top and a skirt from far away; not sensual by today's standards.)

Violence & Gore

  • Child impaled on a fence
  • A man is shot during skiing. (shown from far away and in stylized fashion)
  • A man threatens a woman with a pistol.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Unknowingly drugged with a sedative.
  • Pervasive smoking and some social drinking, consistent with the films of the period.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Several intense and suspenseful scenes.
  • A man is shown descending the stairs, it is implied that he may be mad and may want to kill someone.
  • A man threatens a woman with a pistol. She is trying to 'disarm' him by talking to him.
  • The behavior of one character is unpredictable, it is implied that he may become violent.
