Difficult to watch with adult eyes

Warning: Spoilers
Not a usual one for these but, having caught it on a TCM matinee, and remembering and enjoying as a child, decided to watch again. Wish I had not. How can you go wrong with Lancaster and Hepburn as your leads in a strong moral tale from 1960, but is it? Synopsis, Man old enough to be her father (Burt), having grown up with her as a sister (Audrey) his entire life ultimately wishes to marry her. So devoted to his lust/love he will wreck his families relationship with lifelong friends, endanger his own family, force his child brother to commit murder in order to prove loyalty to his family, refuse to even allow a reasonable request from a brother to meet his natural sister, allow his mother to knowingly hang a truthful man, affect his "sister" that she developed Stockholm syndrome and kills her own natural brother to prove loyal. *Gasps for breath* Know I am left wondering is he the hero of the piece? Should have consigned to my past. On the plus side The Searchers rocks.
