My mother had absolutely ZERO qualms about taking her young son to R-Rated films. I remember seeing Caddyshack, Fort Apache the Bronx and The Amitville Horror in the theatre. And Tom Horn, a real feel-good picture.
Oh, Tom Horn!  I think this was Steve McQueen's last film, and you could see he was not well.  A very fine film none the less and based on a true story (as they say), but you are right not a real laugh fest.
