Mary cuts her finger while opening a tin can. She wraps the finger in a handkerchief; we don't see any blood.

Maybe. John and Mary live in a very cramped apartment, and for their honeymoon they have a very cramped sleeping compartment on the train. Lots of very crowded crowd scenes as well.

In an early scene, some boys are talking together, and the one Black boy speaks in a stereotypical way.

On a double date, the men wait for the women to ascend the stairs first, to get a look up their skirts.

Some kissing, and implied sexual situations (John carefully grooms himself before joining his wife in bed on their wedding night) but no sex scenes.
