| nudity |
2/10.
Minimal. No scenes with nudity, but some scenes feature women in bathing suits. |
| violence |
6/10.
Several people are shot throughout. The scenes in which they are shot are never graphic or gory, but often intense and/or surprising. |
| profanity |
0/10.
None. |
| alcohol |
7/10.
Probably half of the people on the screen are smoking at any given time. All major characters smoke.
Several scenes where people are drinking; they often become intoxicated as a result. |
| frightening |
The scene in the fun-house hall of mirrors is not gory or graphic, but quite intense. It may be a little frightening to younger viewers.
Overall:
The Lady from Shanghai, having been released in the 1940's, was not rated using today's rating system; it was simply "Approved".
Most likely rating it would be given by the MPAA today: PG-13 for violence, smoking, and alcohol use. |
