Classic film noir with Jack Nicholson in the role of Detective JJ Gittes, who has a reputation for investigating cheating spouses. The movie is filled with webs of deceit and JJ Gittes who will try to uncover the mystery surrounding the Mulwrays. This is one of Roman Polanski's most notable films achieving eleven academy award nominations as well as box office success earning almost $30 million dollars.
The chemistry between Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway was intense.
It definately kept me drawn into the film. Additionally, the film is basically seen through the eyes of JJ Gittes, and viewers are putting two and two together while Gittes does too.
Great film. Again, another pleasant surprise, as sometimes I have a pre-conceived notion that if the movie was made around the time I was born, then I was too young to watch it during the time it was released, and likely it would not be of interest to me. However, with a world renowned international director like Polanski, and extremely huge stars - Nicholson and Dunaway (in her day), it was hard not to NOT be interested in the story of this film.
