Social Behavior

The movie is lighthearted and well-meant overall, but modern audiences are likely to be very taken aback by the Lincoln's Birthday number, which is performed in blackface and is decidedly not politically correct. Plus, Astaire's character tries -- twice! -- to seduce a girl away from his supposed friend.

Consumerism

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Astaire's character weaves through a drunken dance.
