A TOUCH OF EVIL is a 1958 US drama about a Mexican narcotics official.
- Drugs
There are a number of visual and verbal references to drug use, including sight of a joint being picked up, sight of an apparently drugged woman, and verbal descriptions of mainlining heroin.
- Violence
There are some scenes of moderate violence, including sight of people engulfed in flames in a car after a bomb is detonated, and a man being shot, resulting in some sight of blood. There is also a scene of strangulation.
In one scene, men enter a room and grab a woman. It is implied the woman is going to be sexually assaulted, although the scene cuts away.
There is some very mild bad language (eg hell, damn').
