Sex & Nudity

  • On their wedding night because of a dispute over her dowry, bride and groom sleep separately, the groom on the floor in his sleeping bag and the bride in the bedroom.
  • A man and woman embrace. The next morning, it's obvious from the man's demeanor exiting the bedroom that the marriage had been consummated that night.
  • A few kisses, including one of which the woman was resistant at first.
  • A few minor comments that have a very slight sexual overtone e.g. upon seeing a large bed that has been broken, a character comments "Homeric!"

Violence & Gore

  • One man wants to fight another man, swinging at him, but the second man refuses and dodges away.
  • A wife is dragged against her will approximately five miles with the occasional smack or kick on the butt. Along the way, a woman offers the husband doing the dragging "a nice stick to beat the lovely lady." He takes it and holds it.
  • An extended and fairly comedic fist fight.

Profanity

  • Sean censors himself from a mild swear word (it half comes out before he changes it to a less offensive word which he also cuts off halfway through) because he is speaking to a woman.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A few scenes take place in a bar where men drink beer and whiskey.
  • The main character smokes cigarettes several times.
  • Regular consumption of alcohol (beer and whiskey), especially by Michaleen, and Irish beer songs. There is a particularly comedic scene where Michaleen shows up very drunk at Mary Kate's house to propose the courtship of Sean Thorton.
  • In one brief scene two of the primary characters are presumably intoxicated.
  • Many casual instances of smoking pipes and cigarettes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The climactic fight, although meant to be humorous, is intense.
  • A few instances of arguments and yelling.
  • The physical restraint and dragging of a woman may be seen as abusive. However the woman is not hurt or overly offended.

Spoilers

  • A boxing scene in a flashback in which a person is killed, but the scene highlights the serious gravity of the situation and is not graphic.
