Chinatown (Centennial Collection) Summary Landmark Movie In The Film Noir Tradition, Roman Polanski's chinatown stands As A True Screen Classic. Jack Nicholson Is Private Eye Jake Gittes, Living Off The Murky Moral Climate Of Sunbaked, Pre-war Southern California. Hired By A Beautiful Socialite (faye Dunaway) To Investigate Her Husband's Extra-marital Affair, Gittes Is Swept Into A Maelstrom Of Double Dealings And Deadly Deceits, Uncovering A Web Of Personal And Political Scandals That Come Crashing Together For One, Unforgettable Night In...chinatown. Co-starring Film Legend John Huston And Featuring An Academy Award®-winning Script By Robert Towne, chinatown Captures A Lost Era In A Masterfully Woven Movie That Remains A Timeless Gem.

Roman Polanski's brooding film noir exposes the darkest side of the land of sunshine, the Los Angeles of the 1930s, where power is the only currency--and the only real thing worth buying. Jack Nicholson is J.J. Gittes, a private eye in the Chandler mold, who during a routine straying-spouse investigation finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a jigsaw puzzle of clues and corruption. The glamorous Evelyn Mulwray (a dazzling Faye Dunaway) and her titanic father, Noah Cross (John Huston), are at the black-hole center of this tale of treachery, incest, and political bribery. The crackling, hard-bitten script by Robert Towne won a well-deserved Oscar, and the muted color cinematography makes the goings-on seem both bleak and impossibly vibrant. Polanski himself has a brief, memorable cameo as the thug who tangles with Nicholson's nose. One of the greatest, most completely satisfying crime films of all time. --Anne Hurley
