Sex & Nudity

  • There is no nudity in the film, and most of the sexual activity is off-camera, except for one brief bed scene - that is along the lines of what one might see on TV. However, the theme of the movie involves a married woman sleeping with a man (actually two men), in hopes of getting pregnant - with her husband's reluctant permission. As such, there is somewhat frank talk about sexual matters, although little is shown.
  • Catholics (and others) might well be offended by the plot, which involves a priest falling in love with, and sleeping with, a married woman, thus breaking his vows of celibacy (and committing the sin of adultery).

Violence & Gore

  • There is little actual violence in the movie, by modern standards. One man punches another in the nose, bloodying it. And a woman dies in childbirth. with as little blood seen on her pillow. However, this is a murder mystery as well, and thus a young man is killed, although the murder itself is not seen. His dead body is seen later, in a coffin.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The priest is seen smoking in at least one scene. There is no drug use. One character drinks a shot of whiskey to bolster his courage. And toasts are exchanged, by a dinner party, to celebrate an occasion.
