When Los Angeles private eye J.J. "Jake" Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is hired by Evelyn Mulwray to investigate her husband's activities, he believes it's a routine infidelity case. Jake's investigation soon becomes anything but routine when he meets the real Mrs. Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) and realizes he was hired by an imposter. Mr. Mulwray's sudden death sets Gittes on a tangled trail of corruption, deceit and sinister family secrets as Evelyn's father (John Huston) becomes a suspect in the case.

Being on Netflix now, I’ve finally seen this movie for the first time. Absolutely brilliant. Possibly the best Jack Nicholson performance I’ve seen.
-
It's weird to think that making this movie set in 1937 then would be the equivalent of making a movie set in 1984 this year.
-
In 1974 I was ten years old. I first saw Chinatown on TV in 1978. A brilliant story about water in an unstable environment. A timeless movie that never goes out of date!!
-
One of the best films of the seventies which is saying something. Three excellent performances, Nicholson, Dunaway and Huston.
-
A MASTERPIECE of a film. From the costumes, the hair and makeup. Everything about this film was done to perfection. The actors are at their prime and Roman Polanski's directing is masterful. One of Hollywood's best films. Personally, I think it's the BEST film of L.A. in the 30's.
-
I can watch this movie over & over again.
-
If there's ever a film where I love every second, it's this one.
-
Chinatown and L.A. Confidential: Two of the best film noirs ever made about Los Angeles or any town for that matter.
-
Jack Nicholson’s Best Performance.
-
Each single shot is to enjoy endless without being bored.Just incredible. Polanski is the utmost badass in cinema history.
-
The very original soundtrack here, which was replaced like a week before the movie opened. Changes the entire way you view the flick, IMO. It was changed for the better. Great, great flick; an absolute masterpiece. Library of Congress stuff.
-
One of Matt Reeves inspiration for The Batman, ironically it has the Joker in it haha.
-
1937...this is the year Jack Nicholson was born on
-
One of the best movies ever made...with outstanding music ,/ background score.. thanks for sharing..!!
-
The greatest screenplay of all-time.
-
I love the music in this trailer. The piano music especially. It’s very evocative.
-
The 70s were not a great time for Americans but it produced some amazing films. This, Taxi Driver, Dirty Harry. They were cynical and bleak but utterly brilliant.
-
one of my favorite movies. So 'true' and Faye Dunaway + Jack were phenomenal . corruption lessons still ring true
-
2:00 I can really see Matt Reeves inspiration for the batman here
-
never old this gem
