nudity | Implied sex scenes with no explicit nudity. One scene does show a woman putting her dress on in the background; she is slightly out of focus but clearly topless. In a jazz club, nude art is projected onto a movie screen that serves as a backdrop for the band. |
violence | Lots of brutal violence including several fistfights, a glass bottle smashed across a man's face, pistol whipping, a man falling to his death from a building, and gunshots from both long- and point-blank range. No explicit gore, but there is blood. |
profanity | Mild. Some damns, hells, maybe a few uses of bastard or SOB. |
alcohol | Minor alcohol use depicted in a jazz club. Some characters smoke cigarettes and Caroll O'Connor chews (but does not light) a cigar. One character overdoses on sleeping pills (possibly on purpose), and another character also uses them. |
frightening | This is film noir so some scenes are intentionally intensified with music, sounds, and camera angles. Mainly loud gunshots and graphic violence. |
