There are brief references to a "whore house" and focus on sexualised dancing, including young women becoming excited by Elvis' dancing. There are also brief sequences of implied sex.
discrimination

Characters express racist views and promote segregation. A man heckles Elvis, calling him a 'fairy' for his hair and use of make-up. Discrimination is not condoned by the work.
