A must see for film noir fans

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2003)

Engrossing film noir type mystery set in 1937 Los Angeles, with a private eye hired to follow a man of power who is suspected of adultery, but stumbles across a strange cover-up involving water supply and a young girl. The cast is simply marvelous headed by Nicholson, Dunaway & Huston, along with a superlative music score, and Oscar-winning screenplay makes this a classic. Sequel made in 1990: The Two Jakes.
