Sex & Nudity

Mild
27 of 46 found this mild
Characters of both sexes are sometimes scantily clad and sometimes almost completely naked.
Very sexy movie.
Sexual innuendos.
Marilyn Monroe is (like always) a very sexy character.
There are several shots that look like people are giving a woman oral sex. They are not and it may not be on purpose.
Marilyn Monroe's character touches herself a lot around her vagina and breasts.
A woman says don't you know about the birds and the bees and doesn't anyone want to play. After all this song is about finding someone to love and have sex with.
Women are treated as sex objects. For example, men constantly staring at them and their butts.
Women call men daddy.
Lots of men are shown dancing for several minutes while a woman touches them. The men appear completely naked but they are wearing shorts that are the exact colour of their skin. From the back it looks like they are fully nude.

Violence & Gore

None

Mild

In a comical scene, two female characters attempt to drug a male character with strong drink spiked with sleeping medication. Following an adverse reaction, he is handed a glass of clear liquid, assumed to be water, but is actually "straight vodka". There is also occasional depiction of casual smoking and alcohol consumption throughout the film.
