violence
Scenes of mild violence include slaps, punches and gunfire, as well as characters being killed, but without detail.
threat and horror
A man throws a glass which misses a woman he has mistaken for an intruder. A man is shot at as he is driving, which causes him to lose control and crash the car; he survives the attack, with only very minor injuries.
discrimination
An Hispanic character is referred to as a "greaseball" and uses the term about himself as he reflects bitterly on a history of being racially demeaned. The work as a whole does not endorse discrimination.
additional issues
A policeman comes across an apparent suicide scene where a woman is believed to have gassed herself; there are no strong details. There is frequent smoking of cigarettes and cigars, which reflects the historical period in which the film was made.
