The Big Goodbye, Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood, Sam Wasson, c. 2020.
Chinatown
- screenplay: Robert Towne
- producer: "The Kid" Robert Evans
- director: Roman Polanski
- lead: Jack Nicholson
Robert Towne's fabled script: widely considered the greatest original screenplay ever written.
One of the best movies I have ever, ever seen.
It's twist ending is said to be the most notorious in American film, and its closing line of dialogue the most haunting. What better movie for Jack Nicholson than this one.
I have a copy of the screenplay.
