AA-S Best Bet - 'Chinatown':
Nearly 35 years after its original release, Roman Polanski's film noir masterpiece plays to big-screen audiences in a thematic double feature with "L.A. Confidential" (which starts at 7) tonight at the Paramount Theatre. "Chinatown," which was Polanski's last film stateside before fleeing criminal charges in 1978, is set in 1930s Los Angeles and stars Faye Dunaway as femme fatale Evelyn Cross Mulwray and Jack Nicholson as her hired private investigator Jake "J.J." Gittes. Initially employed to trail Mrs. Mulwray's philandering husband, Hollis, Gittes soon finds himself investigating a murder, when police find the man drowned. Invariably, Gittes and the widowed Mrs. Mulwray become romantically tied, further entangling the P.I. in a web of lies, corruption and sinister perversion. Winner of the 1974 Academy Award for best original screenplay, "Chinatown" was also nominated for 11 awards including best picture, best director, best actor and best actress.
