Suggested MPAA Rating: PG-13 for Violence and Smoking
Phyllis seen briefly, clad demurely in a towel. Otherwise her seductive affair with Walter Neff is all talk, mood, and innuendo.
A scene of adultery is implied. A married woman visits another man's apartment. They embrace and kiss. The scene fades to a later moment where the man seated on a sofa, smoking, and the woman seated on the other end of the sofa, fixing her makeup. |
| violence |

| profanity |
A few "darns" but that's it. |
| alcohol |
Quite a bit of smoking, cigarettes, and cigars. |
| frightening |
The overall mood of this film is very shady, dark, seductive, scheming, and dismal. |
