Directed by Roman Polanski, starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, and written by the late Robert Towne, Chinatown follows a homicide mystery tied within a series of corruption attempts in the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in 1937. It was lauded instantly upon its release in 1974, with critics hailing Nicholson’s performance as private investigator J.J. “Jake” Gittes, Dunaway’s performance as the mysterious Evelyn Mulwray, Polanski’s neo-noir direction, Towne’s multi-layered screenplay, and Jerry Goldsmith’s musical score.
Chinatown received 11 Oscar nominations at the 47th Academy Awards in 1975, with Towne winning for Best Original Screenplay. It inspired a bevy of mystery films that followed, like L.A. Confidential, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Inherent Vice.
