Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie features sustained and occasionally eruptive family tensions (father doesn't want son to play golf). Characters smoke (cigars, pipes, and cigarettes) and drink (the working class drinkers are especially rowdy in a pub scene). A couple of bystanders tease a caddy who is especially short. A budding romance between protagonists insinuates sexual interest. One golfer is haunted by images of ominous men in dark suits and tall hats, left over from a childhood encounter.

Sexual Content

Francis has a crush on a pretty, wealthy girl: they exchange looks.

Violence

Some anger displayed by father, which might worry younger viewers.

Language

Very mild.

Social Behavior

Some efforts by upper classmen to keep working class golfers out of the tournament.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some discreet drinking at a party and rowdy drinking and smoking in a working class pub.
