Primary
The film's dominant themes align with conservative values, emphasizing individual integrity, traditional family wisdom, and the moral superiority of small-town common sense over the perceived superficiality of urban high society.

Secondary
The film implicitly upholds and affirms traditional American moral values, which are deeply rooted in Christian ethics, through the wholesome portrayal of the Hardy family and their community.
