Product: The Two Jakes [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 5.0
As good a "period piece" as you will ever see
Much has been made of the complicated plot (necessitated by Chinatown) but the acting and cinematography are so brilliant, it hardly matters. This IS L.A. in the 40s. Much, much better than L.A. Confidential. 'Cmon, with Jack Nicholson, Harvey Keitel, Eli Wallach and Richard Farnsworth this isn't amateur night.
