Nick Nolte stars as Thomas Jefferson, during the time
period when he was the U.S. ambassador to France.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Women in low-cut, cleavage-promoting dresses abound.
Passionate declarations of affection, hand-holding and kisses between a man and woman, a
man stares at a woman's cleavage as she sings a lusty song, a hypnotist places his hand on
a few clothed breasts while women become excitable and moan and swoon. A puppet show acts
out a sex scene: the male puppet has a large and anatomically correct sexual organ. A man
and woman tangle in bed (nothing is shown).
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A man breaks his wrist and writhes on the ground in pain;
we watch as a surgeon violently sets the break. Scenes of the French Revolution: effigies
are burned, mobs are yelling and running through the streets, a man is hanged, dogs are
shown ripping at the bloody carcass of an unidentifiable animal. The guillotine is
demonstrated on asparagus spears.
PROFANITY 0 - None. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Historical fact vs. poetic license, extramarital affairs,
slavery and racism, relationships between people of different races, freedom of religion.
MESSAGE - One must remain true to the American values of liberty.
