sex
Mild innuendo and sex references include a male character saying, "She's strictly Division Three but one has to keep in practice" as he takes a young woman back to his room, a woman inviting a man into a room for a glass of brandy, a man, referring to his landlady, saying both, "Isn't that typical of a landlady. Puritan in the front hall and nympho in the back bedroom" and "All quiet on the nympho front".
Other issues include several scenes of smoking, an implied murder by strangulation and an innocuous reference to cocaine.
