A model seeks success, love and entertainment in 1960’s London in this romantic drama from 1965.

sex
At a soiree, it is implied a group are watching a live sex show, although the visuals are discreet. There are scenes which establish couples about to have sex, including an instance of implied cunnilingus. There is brief buttock nudity when a woman strips, and a crude drawing of a nude woman in another scene.
additional issues
Moderate bad language (‘whore’, ‘bitch’) is used, as are milder terms including ‘bloody’, ‘bastard’, ‘damn’, ‘Christ’, ‘God’ and ‘hell’. Occasional remarks allude to a person’s suicidal ideation. There are upsetting scenes, including when a woman visits a clinic to undergo an abortion procedure, and when a woman exhibits signs of mental distress. There are occasional racist, homophobic and sexist remarks and terms; however, they are contextualised as a product of the period in which the film is set, and are not condoned. A woman is murdered by gunfire in a film characters watch.
