violence
There are occasional scenes of mild violence, without visible injury detail. Several people are shot, and others are tied to posts and whipped. It is implied that a man is stabbed, but the impact of the blade occurs off screen. One man briefly strangles another before knocking him out with a single punch. In another scene a man throws a monkey onto the ground by its tail and shoots it off screen, but there is no evidence of real animal cruelty.
threat and horror
A villain imprisons men on an isolated island and uses whippings and threats of violence to force them to work to the point of death. He also behaves in a controlling and coolly threatening manner towards his wife, refusing to let her visit the mainland so that she cannot escape him. Other scenes feature mild gun threat.
additional issues
Characters smoke cigarettes, reflecting the time period in which the film was made.
