Sex & Nudity

  • The hotel maid is told to give room for two gentlemen boarders, but she is still allowed to change her clothes in that room. In one scene, she begins undressing in front of the men, and they leave the room out of decency. Nothing explicit is shown. She is wearing an underdress. Another time she comes in while the men are dressed only partially in pajamas.
  • A couple is spending an illicit weekend away from both of their spouses. Nothing explicit is shown but this relationship is alluded to in conversation.
  • There are awkward situations when the hotel personnel come into the suite where the girls are staying. The girls are seen in scanty lingerie, and there are many shots of their bare legs.

Violence & Gore

  • Shadows are seen strangling a man, and characters engage in a protracted gun battle. However, no disturbing violence -- and certainly no gore -- is shown.
  • A guy is clocked in the head during a struggle, knocked cold, then stuffed into a steamer trunk. He does escape through a false bottom.
  • For vegans: A small calf is confined in a box.
