Parents guide

Brief shot of a drawing of a nude woman on a jail wall early in the film.

We see some kissing. Sex is never shown, but it is implied several times.

Some girls are seen dancing and singing showing their entire legs.

A woman is seen lying in bed acting sexy while doing a commercial for a pill (supposedly sex-enhancing). Audacious for the 1950's, but very soft for today's standards.

Some scenes of girls baton-twirling (similar to cheerleaders) emphasize their bodily attributes, while a man looks on them with a lusty look.

A character refers to a group of black people as monkeys.

Andy Griffith uses the word "shit" once in a brief moment.

Name-calling like "stupid" "idiot", etc.

Mild. During the actual movie, the profanity was mild. However, Andy Griffith drops the 'F' bomb in the special feature interview.

Smoking and drinking are both especially frequent in the film, especially by Rhodes.

The smoking and drinking are accurate for the time period.

Everybody smokes. Everybody drinks. Rhodes, to excess

The intensity level increases the longer into the movie you travel.
