Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • Near film's end, Julie has apparently become a woman of easy virtue; she is traveling on a ship with a male companion not her husband, and although they are obviously involved, he treats her very badly.

Violence & Gore

  • Near the end, the man that Julie is with slaps her when she drunkenly tries to sing. Gaylord Ravenal sees this and punches the man.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Julie becomes an alcoholic eventually, but her dissipation is more vividly shown in this version than in the 1936 one. She is hopelessly drunk in the final scenes and looks haggard.
