Sex & Nudity

  • Quick and short kisses at the beginning of the movie.
  • Gil, for his part, reports, "I like really cheap sex." Ernest Hemingway talks to him of how making "really good love" to a woman can cause him to lose his fear of death for a short while. Cole Porter's "Let's Fall in Love" does a little more than hint at sex with its famous "do it" lines.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is chased by a few guards who threaten to cut his head off. Comical.
  • We hear of a soldier losing his hand to a grenade.
  • We see a character attempting suicide by standing near the edge of a river. She is stopped straight away.

Profanity

  • 1 use of Jesus christ, christ, my gosh, my god, for christ sakes, sex and for god sakes 2 uses of hell 4 uses of oh my god
  • Minor swearing and obscenities (ex. crap or damn). Three mild blasphemies.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Alcohol is linked to elevated levels of sexual desire and decreased levels of sexual performance. Zelda Fitzgerald tells Gil, "I'll never be a great lyric writer; my talent lies in drinking." Gil, Inez, her parents and their friends drink at nearly every gathering. Gil is a bit upset at a wine tasting and starts slugging back the stuff two glasses at a time. In the 1920s, everybody tends to gravitate toward mixed drinks, shots and champagne.
  • People in both time periods smoke cigarettes. And when Gil tells Inez that he was mysteriously transported to the 1920s, she asks him, "What have you been smoking?" Gil encounters a stressed out Zelda and gives her a valium.
