The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

There are many sexual references and double entendres. There is also non-judgmental talk of a premarital pregnancy.

A man calls another man's wife "angel boobs" and "monkey nipples" in one sequence.

A man and a woman, both married to different people, appear to have sex. We see their silhouettes in an upstairs window.

Violence & Gore

A man threatens a woman with a gun.

A man grabs a woman by the neck, choking her. They fall to the ground fighting.

A woman attacks a man, and after a scuffle he throws her off.

A man pulls a woman's hair and slaps her face.

A woman spits in a man's face.

Profanity

Several uses of "son of a bitch", as well as other profanities, such as "GD", which is used quite frequently.

All of the characters spend most of the screen time drinking, getting drunk, and staying drunk.

Two characters smoke.

Most of the film ranges from fairly tense to extremely intense. Even forty years after its release, the savagery of the verbal assaults that make up most of the film is truly shocking. There are very few relaxed moments, and most of those are in the first fifteen minutes.

A few sequences are even frightening such as the segment with the gun.
