Rating: 4.0
jake gittes,1948.Transfer grade A
It starts out well but as it progesses becomes increasingly muddled and confusing.The cinematography is stunning as is the LA 40's ambiance.There are reasons to buy this DVD;the transfer,the lush photography and production values and the Extra; An interview with Jack Nicholson.But the movie itself is a curio and not a success ,imo.It has some good performances(Farnsworth,Meg Tilly)and a lumpy star turn by Nicholson.Amend to 3 stars for good, no more.
