Title: One of the Best Movies of All Time
Review: It's a mystery, wrapped in an enigmatic love story, riddled with corruption. For a third of a century, Chinatown has ALWAYS been on my list of top five movies of all time, often at the top. According to producer Robert Evans, he offered Robert Towne $175K to write a screenplay for the Great Gatsby. Towne demurred, but asked for $25K to write Chinatown. It's his best script, and elicited Jack Nicholson's finest performance.DVD has remastered DD 5.1 audio, plus 25th anniversary interviews with producer Robert Evans, director Roman Polanski, & writer Robert Towne.Richard Bakalyan plays but a minor role as Detective Loach, hardly more significant (certainly less memorable) than the cameo by director Roman Polanski, as the knife wielding midget.
