Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that one musical number rhapsodizes nostalgically about minstrel shows. But viewers don't see any blackface makeup or overt racist images; it's just verbal gags, and kids who don't know the history won't realize the degrading black stereotypes that gave rise to the patter.

Sexual Content

Somewhere there's a college campus where a wild revisionist could read a homosexual subtext into the showbiz heroes' longtime "bachelor" status (and dressing in drag for one musical number). But in the real world, nothing to worry about.

Violence

A very brief depiction of WWII bombardment.

Language

Not applicable

Social Behavior

There's a strong sense of the WWII generation's military loyalty and respect.

Consumerism

None, unless you count a certain Irving Berlin recording.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Recreational drinking in a nightclub.
