violence
A woman is domestically abused by her husband. We do not see any violence take place against her, but there is bruising on her face as well as several verbal references to her injuries and to her being "knocked about". Her husband admits the abuse in conversation and his behaviour is condemned by other characters. Another man is accused of beating his wife to death.
threat and horror
There are scenes of mild threat in which a murderer races to hide a body.
additional issues
A newspaper report mentions that an unexplained death may have been a suicide. Characters display dated sexist attitudes. A meal in a Chinese restaurant involves dated racial stereotyping, but this is not the focus of the scene.
