The Blood Stain (Spanish:La Mancha de Sangre) is a 1937 Mexican drama film directed by Adolfo Best Maugard and starring Estela Inda, José Casal and Heriberto G. Batemberg. It had serious problems with the Mexican censors due to its portrayal of prostitution.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Mariano Rodríguez Granada.
