A farm labourer persuades the woman he loves to marry their wealthy employer and secure a stake in his fortune in this mesmerising 1978 US period-drama, which includes brief moments of stark violence.

violence
There is a shooting which includes bloody detail. A man is stabbed in the torso with a screwdriver, which is seen sticking from his torso when he dies.
language
There is infrequent use of moderate bad language ('whore') and milder terms ('ass').
additional issues
A farm is engulfed in flames when a man attempts to strike someone with a lantern. Despite the efforts of workers to extinguish the fire, it continues to rage. There is gun threat, chase scenes and a man ties a woman to a pillar by the ankles and wrists in a fit of rage. There is injury detail of burns on a man's arms in the aftermath of a fire, and blood on the shirts of two fighting men. A character with dwarfism is referred to as 'the little one'. There are mild sex references, and a couple's physical affection is looked upon with suspicion when they are mistaken for brother and sister. Children are often depicted smoking, reflecting the lifestyle of that period.

In one scene a man is stabbed with a farming tool as another man defends himself from being shot. In another scene we hear the sound of a gunshot, followed by a brief shot of a man's face hitting the water as he falls into the river.

The hero tells the woman he loves that he cannot bear seeing another man "looking at your ass like you were a whore". This comes across as a comment which expresses his love for her and how it pains him to see her being objectified by another man.
