Sex & Nudity

  • A woman sits on a man's lap and they make out with obvious intentions of making love; the man is sweet-talking his mistress, while she tries to convince him to marry her.
  • A woman says that a particular man only wants two things from the woman they are speaking of, and one of them is under her skirts. Another woman replies that he could get under her skirts any day.
  • A man kisses a woman passionately, pulls her to the ground, undoes her bodice partway (no skin is shown) and reaches inside her clothing to feel her breast; she allows his attentions at first, but then pulls away and walks off.
  • A woman is shown (for about 2 seconds) sitting on top of a man in a barn while they both move and moan, but while fully dressed; they are shown shortly afterwards asleep together in the hay.
  • A man kisses his wife passionately, pushes her up against the wall, and appear ready to make love; they are shown the next morning in bed together talking (he is shirtless, she is in a nightgown).
  • A man is shown naked from behind from a far distance (his buttocks show) as he goes into the sea for a swim.
  • The topics of illegitimate children, fast men, and loose women come up more than once.

Violence & Gore

  • Many sheep are shown dead and dying after being driven off a cliff. There is some blood.
  • A man shoots a dog, but nothing is shown.
  • Some sheep are sick with bloated stomachs which must be pierced; the device is shown being shoved into the sheep's side, but there is no blood, and the sheep is saved.
  • A boy's arm is cut while working in the fields and there is a little blood.
  • A man shoots another man with a shotgun. His chest wound is fairly large and gaping; he falls down dead; a woman rushes up to him and caresses his face, which smears the blood spatter on his cheek.

Profanity

  • Some mild profanity, such as "arse" and "damn".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Several scenes with some drinking or drunken individuals, but usually shown in a negative light. Some pipe smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A man and woman are shown out on a hay stack during an intense lightning storm (they are trying to save the hay by covering it before the rain starts); she falls and he catches her.
  • A casket is opened and a woman and a baby are shown dead inside; they look convincingly dead, gray and stiff, and are shown more than once during the scene.
