nudity | Very mild but a man lies on top of a married woman kissing her and he tells her that he is "very much in lust" with her. |
violence | Lots of nutty slapstick including slapstick fighting, biting, choking, destruction and 2 comical half-hearted suicide attempts. The only scenes of even remotely serious violence are when Frank Langella punches Ron Moody a few times in anger and threatens to break a man's neck. |
profanity | 1 damn, 1 use of merde(which means "shit" in French), and some religious exclamations. |
alcohol | Brief comic drunkenness. 1 scene of cigarette smoking. |
frightening | None. By today's standards The Twelve Chairs would most likely be rated PG. |
