I downloaded this movie from Netflix, searching for a clean flick I could watch with my kids. Based on the Common Sense Media Review which said there was NO sexual content, we started watching it. Not far into the movie, the mistress (who is standing in her corset and thigh-high hose) walks seductively across the room and begins stripping for a presumably naked Sean Connery, then climbs face first under the covers making suggestive comments as she snakes toward him. A few minutes later, two male characters are standing in a bank having a conversation about making "deposits" or "withdrawals" into a woman customer. In between was a sexually suggestive conversation between Connery and a woman (ostensibly about building) using references to "long screws" and "erections." This was NOT what I expected to be watching with my kids!! Normally, I'd just move along and not say anything to someone else, but I watched this movie with my kids BASED on a review from this site which MISLED me. We are pretty strict about what our kids watch (which I know puts us in minority) -- others may hold different standards, but I wanted to share my observations in case other parents who share our concerns find themselves in our position.

Great for young kids.
I didn't get much of a kick out of it, but I'm sure younger kids may like it.
