Monday Night Classic: Chinatown (1974)
Director: Roman Polanski
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston, Diane Ladd
Jack Nicholson stars alongside Faye Dunaway in "Chinatown", the last great Film Noir and arguable the greatest American Crime Film ever made.
A Star-Making performance from Nicholson is aided by a superb supporting cast (John Huston, Diane Ladd, James Hong) and the always excellent Dunaway, playing the epitope of the 'Femme Fatale' character in one of her most impressive roles.
The action follows a 1930s Private Detective on the case of a married man whose wife suspects an affair. It's not long before Nicholson's iconic "Jake Gittes" is running afoul of both the local Police and the criminal underworld, while finding himself involved in what turns out to be a murder case.
"Chinatown" received 11 Oscar nominations and 11 BAFTA nominations upon release, as well as widespread critical and audience acclaim. Acclaim that has only grown since.
