Sex & Nudity
-
- The Perks children are seen holding a naked baby in one scene. Mr Perks asks them to put some pants on him because they have company.
- When Mr Perks and his wife are in bed, he draws a curtain round it and she says 'As it's your birthday' in response to a request, but he is then seen opening a bottle, implying that he wasn't referring to anything sexual.
Violence & Gore
-
- Ruth slaps Peter around the face for pulling a prank on her. There is a tussle as the other children try to separate them. Ruth is immediately dismissed for her actions.
- Jim's broken leg is seen covered in blood.
- Phyllis cries over the sight of blood as Jim's cast is removed.
Profanity
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Mr Perks is briefly seen swigging what is presumably beer in one scene.
- Brief mentions of Perks being given a pipe and tobacco as presents. He is never seen smoking it, and this film is set at a time when smoking was part of popular culture and the dangers of it weren't well known or appreciated.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The children being inside a railway tunnel when a train is approaching could be frightening.
- The children walk on the railway line, which would be very dangerous in real life, especially in the tunnel.
