18 of 29 found this to have none
A doctor changes in changing room but no nudity is shown.
Some kissing between an unmarried couple in one scene. At the end of the scene, the woman is shown starting to unbutton her top. However, no nudity is shown but sex is implied.
Paul Newman's character makes a dirty joke in one scene, referencing sex as "getting laid"; he says this reference a couple times throughout the film.

Mild
19 of 27 found this mild
Some tense arguing in several scenes.
In a bar, a female is slapped/slugged by a man, knocking her to the ground and giving her a bloody lip. Public reacts by grabbing and restraining him.
That's about all.

Profanity

Moderate
12 of 31 found this moderate
"Goddamn" is used six times, and "Christ" is used three times in the film.
"Ass" is used twice.
Profanity is mostly used in frustrated moments.
7 uses of fuck 4 uses of shit 1 with bull 3 uses of whore and christ 2 uses of ass 1 with hard 10 uses of damn 6 with god 8 uses of hell 1 use of screw
Jack Warden's character is the only one who uses really strong profanity.
7 "f" words are said within the first 35 minutes of the film. After that, it's virtually profanity free. This is only true if you don't consider "gd" as profanity.
Count: Hell(8) Fuck(7) Damn(4) Shit(4)
