Chinatown is a 1974 American neo-noir mystery film, directed by Roman Polanski from a screenplay by Robert Towne, starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. The film was inspired by the California Water Wars, a series of disputes over southern California water at the beginning of the 20th century, by which Los Angeles interests secured water rights in the Owens Valley. The Robert Evans production, a Paramount Pictures release, was the director's last film in the United States and features many elements of film noir, particularly a multi-layered story that is part mystery and part psychological drama.
(Aah, well, sounds good anyway)

 

Must See!!!

 

I had a film class in college. We watched a movie each week from each decade, and try to get a different genre each time. For the 70s we watched Chinatown, and for the 80s a surprisingly similar movie, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The professor chose that one because he thought Kathleen Turner was hot. Not only the time and place, but even the scandal was dealt with similarly.
