Parents need to know that there's not much to worry about here. Characters deceive each other. There are no role models, but there is, of course, a happy ending.
Positive messages:Typical 1948 gender and race portrayals (i.e. not great).
This is a great movie for the whole family. I enjoyed it as much as my two boys did (well, they didn't like the kissing.) The music and dancing and story are lots of fun.
