During a outing in the countryside, after Jane puts her hand in Bill's, he kisses her passionately. They spend some time laying close together and talking.

There are several physical assaults during the film, two of which result in unintentional deaths. None of the assaults are bloody but one is sudden and shocking. While bare-chested, Bill is flogged in prison while strapped to a frame as part of his sentence; afterwards, he is seen in pain, lying on his stomach in hospital. Fending off his assault, a man is stabbed with scissors by a woman.

Some scenes occur in pubs or places serving alcohol. No obvious drunkeness shown.

Bill has attacks of sudden violence and at times appears unstable.
