Sex & Nudity
-
- None. Some women are in 1860s style underwear and a friend suggests the oldest sister cover her chest more in one scene, but her dress actually barely reveals cleavage. Several brief kissing scenes.
Violence & Gore
-
- A character says, "I rather crave violence." (and longs to go to war to fight injustice).
- Amy is struck by her teacher (the event is not shown, although we see a pink line/welt across her hand) and returns home crying softly.
- Not much actual violence, Jo attacks Amy after she burns some of her writing and screams that she's dead and nothing.
Profanity
-
- 2 uses of 'Thank God . . .' (probably with God in mind, but they may or may not actually been commanding someone to thank God).
- 1 use of 'we're both stupidly stubborn'.
- 1 use of 'Heavens above. You've ruined me.'
- 5 uses of 'blast'.
- 1 use of 'wretched skirts'.
- One use of 'tarnation'.
- 5 uses of 'I hate' (you/someone/money)
- 1 use of 'Don't be such a beetle.'
- 1 use of 'Oh, where is that miserable glove?'
- 1 use of 'foolish'.
- None. Racism is alluded to.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- No drugs. Some smoking. Main female characters are prohibitionist, but one is convinced to drink along with the men. Laurie gets drunk.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Jo finds her book burning on the hearth. Assuming Amy to be the culprit, Jo attacks her and has to be pulled away by others in the family.
