Tortilla Flat Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this story?

PG-13

Five guys living in a house, running around like fraternity brothers getting drunk and chasing women? You've gotta expect at least some steaminess. The sex scenes in Tortilla Flat aren't too explicit (it was published in 1935, when it was hard to slip such shenanigans past the censors), but you definitely know what's going on when Big Joe and Tia Ignacia get stopped by a cop for rolling around in the mud, or when Jesus Maria buys a bra for his girlfriend.
