Sex & Nudity
-
- There is a nude female statue (shown from the back) at the music club.
- There are two paintings of a nude woman (shown seated) in Ivy's apartment. Their breasts are visible.
- There is a statue of an angel embracing a topless woman in Ivy's apartment.
- Because this film was made before the Production Code took effect, it is more sexually frank than later film versions of the story. In one scene, Ivy sits in bed nude, trying to seduce Dr. Jekyll after he has saved her from a mugging. A blanket covers her partially and no private parts are shown.

- "damned" is used three times, but not as a profanity.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- There is some tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption. One scene takes place in a club that serves alcohol.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Surprisingly intense for the time. The fact that the film is pre-code means the filmmakers were able to include more explicit depictions of sex and violence than later films of the era. This is apparent in the relatively strong themes of psychosexual violence and amorality. Hyde's treatment and psychological torture of Ivy is especially disturbing.
