Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a situational comedy using a widespread power blackout as a backdrop for various personal and social disruptions. Its focus on human foibles and the absurdity of the situation, rather than political commentary or ideological solutions, renders it neutral.
This 1968 comedy features a cast predominantly composed of white actors, consistent with mainstream productions of its era, without intentional recasting of roles for diversity. The narrative focuses on comedic situations arising from a city-wide blackout and does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicitly center DEI themes.
Secondary
The film "Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual romantic comedy elements during a power blackout in New York City, with no depiction of queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This 1968 film is an original story and not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established characters. Therefore, all characters are new creations for this specific film, and no gender swaps occur.
The film is an adaptation of a French play, and there is no indication that any character was canonically or widely established as a specific race that was then changed in the 1968 film adaptation. The main characters are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the implicit understanding of the source material.
