As always, should you still be concerned with the film's appropriateness for you or someone in your family, we suggest that you take a closer look at the content that we've listed. Of special note for those concerned with bright, repetitive flashes, several instances of that occur during the film. Boone and others drink beer in a bar in several scenes. Whale and Boone have wine with lunch. People have drinks at a reception, while Boone has a beer and Whale has two martinis.
Whale drinks some sort of liquor while Boone has a beer.
Some may see Whale's homosexuality and penchant for younger men as having some of both. A few scenes have just a minor bit of dramatically suspenseful music in them. Although we don't see much attempted activity until the end, Whale is a self-admitted homosexual with a penchant for younger men. In another he kisses a male visitor good-bye. Whale has a large painting that shows male full frontal nudity.
