Product: The Two Jakes [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 5.0
A Classic Continued
China Town is classic; even better than the old mid-20th Century classics because the research and photography take us back to that time period to portray people as they were. For me the story, while good, is just the mechanism that allows a time machine visit.Two Jakes is a continuation taking place in the 50s. The story is just as good, as is the research that went into the costuming, sets and CA sites in which is set the story and characters. I don't know what the critics said about these two movies at the time, but the Two Jakes sequel is just as good as China Town and can stand on it's own if the viewer has not seen the first movie.
