violence
Mild violence includes knockout blows and a short fist-fight sequence; however, there are no visible injuries.
threat and horror
A distressed woman is placed in a straightjacket after being committed to a sanatorium on false grounds. A man is suddenly attacked by a guard dog and knocked repeatedly to the ground, but neither he nor the dog are visibly injured. A woman says that she ran away from her previous residence following an incident that occurred when a male resident returned unexpectedly and found her alone at night; she is upset by the recollection but does not go into further detail.
suicide and self-harm
In order to visit a sanitorium, a man falsely claims to be experiencing feelings of ‘despondency’, and implies, without explicit verbal detail, that he is at immediate risk of suicide.
additional issues
Denying knowledge of an event, an unsympathetic character exclaims, ‘I ain’t no gypsy mind reader!’; the same person also expresses disapproval of ‘foreigners’ in reference to a French woman. A woman speaks briefly and without detail about the deaths of her husband and mother. There are scenes of smoking, reflecting the era in which the film was made, and infrequent use of very mild bad language (e.g. ‘damn’).
