Gittes learns that Mulwray was the former business partner of Evelyn's wealthy father, Noah Cross. Over lunch at his personal club, Cross offers to double Gittes' fee to search for Mulwray's missing mistress.
At the hall of records, Gittes discovers a significant amount of the Northwest Valley has recently changed ownership.
Investigating the valley, he is attacked by angry landowners who believe he is an agent from the water department who they claim are attempting to force them off their land by sabotaging their water supply.
Gittes realizes that the water department is diverting water to dry up the land and buy it up cheaply. Mulwray was murdered after discovering the plan.
Gittes discovers that a former retirement home resident is one of the valley's new landowners, who seemingly purchased the property a week after his death.
Gittes and Evelyn bluff their way into the facility and confirm that the real-estate deals were surreptitiously completed in the names of several residents there.
The director becomes suspicious and calls Mulvihill. After fleeing Mulvihill and his thugs, Gittes and Evelyn hide at Evelyn's house and sleep together.
During the night, Evelyn receives a phone call and must leave suddenly; she warns Gittes that her father is dangerous. Gittes follows Evelyn to a house, where he spies her through the windows comforting Mulwray's mistress, Katherine.
He accuses Evelyn of holding the woman against her will, but she says Katherine is her sister, who is distraught upon learning about Hollis Mulwray's death.
An anonymous call draws Gittes to Ida Sessions' apartment. He finds her murdered and Escobar waiting. Escobar says the coroner found salt water in Mulwray's lungs, indicating he did not drown in the fresh water reservoir his body was found.
Escobar suspects Evelyn. At Evelyn's mansion, Gittes finds the servants packing up the household. Gittes realizes her garden pond is salt water and discovers a pair of bifocals in it.
He aggressively confronts Evelyn about Katherine, whom Evelyn eventually breaks down and admits is both her sister and her daughter; her father raped her when she was She says Mulwray, who married Evelyn to protect her from Cross, did not wear bifocals.
Gittes arranges for the women to flee to Mexico and instructs Evelyn to meet him at her butler's home in Chinatown. He summons Cross to the Mulwray home to settle their deal.
Cross admits his scheme to annex the Northwest Valley into the City of Los Angeles, then irrigate and develop it. Gittes accuses Cross of murdering Mulwray.
Cross has Mulvihill take the bifocals at gunpoint, and they force Gittes to drive them to the women. When they reach the Chinatown address, the police are already there and detain Gittes.
When Cross approaches Katherine, Evelyn shoots him in the arm and starts to drive away with Katherine. The police open fire, killing Evelyn.
Cross clutches an hysterical Katherine and leads her away, while Escobar orders Gittes released. Lawrence Walsh, one of Gittes's associates, tells him: "Forget it, Jake.
It's Chinatown. Scott Fitzgerald novel. Chinatown is set in and portrays the manipulation of a critical municipal resource—water—by a cadre of shadowy oligarchs.
It was the first part of Towne's planned trilogy about the character J. Gittes, the foibles of the Los Angeles power structure, and the subjugation of public good by private greed.
It was directed by Jack Nicholson and released in , but the second film's commercial and critical failure scuttled plans to make Gittes vs.
Gittes , [14] about the third finite resource—land—in Los Angeles, circa The character of Hollis Mulwray was inspired by and loosely based on Irish immigrant William Mulholland — according to Mulholland's granddaughter.
Author Vincent Brook considers real-life Mulholland to be split, in the film, into "noble Water and Power chief Hollis Mulwray" and "mobster muscle Claude Mulvihill," [17] just as Land syndicate and Combination members, who "exploited their insider knowledge" on account of "personal greed," are "condensed into the singular, and singularly monstrous, Noah Cross.
In the film, Mulwray opposes the dam wanted by Noah Cross and the city of Los Angeles, for reasons of engineering and safety, arguing he would not repeat his previous mistake, when his dam broke resulting in hundreds of deaths.
This alludes to the St. Francis Dam disaster of March 12, , [18] when the dam had been inspected by Mulholland on the day of its catastrophic failure.
The event effectively ended Mulholland's career. It taught me to look at the place where I was born, and convinced me to write about it. Towne wrote the screenplay with Jack Nicholson in mind.
Polanski learned of the script through Nicholson, with whom he had been searching for a suitable joint project. Producer Robert Evans wanted Polanski to direct due to his European vision of the United States, which Evans believed would be darker and more cynical.
Polanski, a few years removed from the murder of his pregnant wife , Sharon Tate , in Los Angeles, was initially reluctant to return but was persuaded on the strength of the script.
Towne wanted Cross to die and Evelyn Mulwray to survive. The screenwriter and director argued over it, with Polanski insisting on a tragic end.
The original script was more than pages and included a narration by Gittes; Polanski cut and reordered the story so the audience and Gittes unraveled the mysteries at the same time.
William A. Fraker accepted the cinematographer position from Polanski when Paramount agreed. He had worked with the studio previously on Polanski's Rosemary's Baby.
Robert Evans, never consulted about the decision, insisted that the offer be rescinded since he felt pairing Polanski and Fraker again would create a team with too much control over the project and complicate the production.
Fraker was replaced by John A. In keeping with a technique Polanski attributes to Raymond Chandler , all of the events of the film are seen subjectively through the main character's eyes; for example, when Gittes is knocked unconscious, the film fades to black and fades in when he awakens.
Gittes appears in every scene of the film. On set, Polanksi and Dunaway had well-documented conflict. Mediating pitched battles between the abrupt, abrasive Polanski and the temperamental, histrionic Dunaway was a challenge.
His favorite illustration of this was the "parable of the hair". Robert Evans had flown in Ara Gallant from New York to streak Dunaway's coiffure for the movie, and in the course of one of Polanski's more complicated lighting setups, an errant hair escaped.
But eventually Polanski plucked it from Dunaway's scalp. She shrieked at Polanski, "Don't you dare ever do that sort of thing to me again!
Polanski remembered it as: "I just don't believe it! That motherfucker pulled my hair out! It took a summit meeting in Evans's Paramount office before Dunaway would return to work.
Polanski fanned the incident in the press as a perfect example of American star hysterics, while Dunaway insisted her hair wasn't the point.
Jerry Goldsmith composed and recorded the film's score in ten days, after producer Robert Evans rejected Phillip Lambro's original effort at the last minute.
It received an Academy Award nomination and remains widely praised, [27] [28] [29] ranking ninth on the American Film Institute 's list of the top 25 American film scores.
Rasey related that Goldsmith "told [him] to play it sexy — but like it's not good sex! In his film essay and documentary Los Angeles Plays Itself , film scholar Thom Andersen lays out the complex relationship between Chinatown' s script and its historical background:.
Robert Towne took an urban myth about the founding of Los Angeles on water stolen from the Owens River Valley and made it resonate. Chinatown isn't a docudrama, it's a fiction.
Chinatown is set in , not The Mullholland-like figure—"Hollis Mulwray"—isn't the chief architect of the project, but rather its strongest opponent, who must be discredited and murdered.
Mulwray is against the "Alto Vallejo Dam" because it's unsafe, not because it's stealing water from somebody else But there are echoes of Mullholland's aqueduct project in Chinatown Mullholland's project enriched its promoters through insider land deals in the San Fernando Valley , just like the dam project in Chinatown.
The disgruntled San Fernando Valley farmers of Chinatown , forced to sell off their land at bargain prices because of an artificial drought, seem like stand-ins for the Owens Valley settlers whose homesteads turned to dust when Los Angeles took the water that irrigated them.
The "Van Der Lip Dam" disaster, which Hollis Mulwray cites to explain his opposition to the proposed dam, is an obvious reference to the collapse of the Saint Francis Dam in Mullholland built this dam after completing the aqueduct and its failure was the greatest man-made disaster in the history of California.
These echoes have led many viewers to regard Chinatown , not only as docudrama, but as truth—the real secret history of how Los Angeles got its water.
And it has become a ruling metaphor of the non-fictional critiques of Los Angeles development. The website's critical consensus reads: "As bruised and cynical as the decade that produced it, this noir classic benefits from Robert Towne's brilliant screenplay, director Roman Polanski's steady hand, and wonderful performances from Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.
Although the film was widely acclaimed by prominent critics upon its release, Vincent Canby of The New York Times was not impressed with the screenplay as compared to the film's predecessors, saying: "Mr.
Polanski and Mr. Towne have attempted nothing so witty and entertaining, being content instead to make a competently stylish, more or less thirties-ish movie that continually made me wish I were back seeing The Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep ", but noted Nicholson's performance, calling it the film's "major contribution to the genre".
Dann lässt er Gittes von seinem Leibwächter gefangen nehmen und zwingt Gittes, ihn zu Cross' Tochter und Enkeltochter zu bringen.
Durch eine unglückliche Verkettung der Umstände wird Mrs. Mulwray auf der Flucht in ihrem Auto von Polizisten erschossen, nachdem sie ihrerseits auf ihren Vater geschossen hat, ihn jedoch dabei nur leicht am Arm verletzt hat.
Mulwray hält, und seine Mitarbeiter laufen. Gittes' Hinweis auf Cross' Verbrechen bleibt ungehört.
Chinatown gilt als ein gelungener moderner Film noir. Das von Towne verfasste Drehbuch wird oft als Musterbeispiel für die gelungene Entwicklung einer Filmhandlung hervorgehoben.
Towne hatte für den Film allerdings ein Happy End vorgesehen. Sie ist die ominöse Dame mit einem Auftrag, die mit dem Fortgang der Geschichte immer geheimnisvoller wird und nicht einzuschätzen ist.
Als Figur zwar kultiviert, wechselt sie im Film immer wieder ihr Gesicht. In der Ikonographie des Film noir erscheint die Rolle der Mrs.
Mulwray vom Aussehen und ihrer Wirkung auf Gittes her zunächst als klassische Femme fatale , im Laufe der Geschichte entpuppt sie sich aber als ein anderer Frauentypus der Film-noir -Bewegung: das bad good girl.
Vor allem aber taucht der Begriff im gesamten Film immer wieder als Chiffre auf, einerseits für die unheilvolle Vergangenheit von Gittes, der schon einmal eine Frau in Chinatown verloren hat, andererseits als Bedrohung der Zukunft von Jake und Evelyn, als Verweis auf einen ungerechten, symbolischen Ort, als der sich das Viertel am Ende des Films tatsächlich entpuppt.
Interessant ist, dass die Chinesen in dem Film keineswegs in die korrupten Machenschaften verstrickt sind, sondern eher als Helfer von Mrs.
Mulwray agieren. In diesem Zusammenhang ergäbe die Devise, in Bezug auf das Viertel so wenig wie möglich zu tun und sich somit seinem Schicksal zu ergeben, insofern Sinn, als jegliches Handeln angesichts der unabänderlichen Schicksalsschläge sinnlos wäre.
Oktober Die brillante Regiearbeit, die fantastische Kamera, die hervorragende Musik von Jerry Goldsmith und die tollen Darsteller sorgen für optimale Unterhaltung.
Zugleich ein Einblick in die psychologische Befindlichkeit einer durch und durch maroden Gesellschaft. Geplant war eigentlich eine Trilogie.
Zwei weitere Filme sollten folgen, angesiedelt in den er und er Jahren, welche die Stadt Los Angeles in dieser Zeit beleuchten sollten.
Auch deswegen ist es bisher nicht zu einem weiteren Teil gekommen. Namensräume Artikel Diskussion.

A sequel film, The Two Jakes , was released in , again starring Nicholson, who also directed, with Robert Towne returning to write the screenplay.
It was not met with the same financial or critical success as the first film. In November , it was reported that David Fincher and Towne would write a prequel series for Netflix about Gittes starting his agency.
Towne's screenplay has become legendary among critics and filmmakers, often cited as one of the best examples of the craft, [13] [38] [39] though Polanski decided on the fatal final scene.
While it has been reported that Towne envisioned a happy ending, he has denied these claims and said simply that he initially found Polanski's ending to be excessively melodramatic.
He explained in a interview, "The way I had seen it was that Evelyn would kill her father but end up in jail for it, unable to give the real reason why it happened.
And the detective [Jack Nicholson] couldn't talk about it either, so it was bleak in its own way. Chinatown brought more public awareness to the land dealings and disputes over water rights, which arose while drawing Los Angeles' water supply from the Owens Valley in the s.

And that they did. The consistent results led to the 70's arguably being the best decade in cinema that America has ever produced.
Chinatown is another of those films that can be considered a classic among this elite list and one of a few from this era of filmmaking that time has been most kind to.
When he is hired by Evelyn Mulwray who suspects her husband Hollis - a high-profile engineer - of having an affair, he gets on the case and produces photographs of him with a young girl.
It soon transpires that Jake was hired by an impersonator and not the real Mrs. Mulwray Faye Dunaway. When Hollis is found dead by drowning, Jake finds himself involved in a complex web of deceit involving murder, incest, and corruption that are all related to the city's water supply.
Opening with Jerry Goldsmith's seductive and evocative noir score, Chinatown establishes it's mood from the very opening credit sequence and a perfect introduction of what to expect.
Paying homage to the traditional gumshoe approach of Humphrey Bogart's Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, Roman Polanski has a confident handle on Robert Towne's meticulously detailed screenplay.
No sooner are we introduced to Private Investigator Jake Gittes as he surveys the sun-kissed lands of Los Angeles while applying the tricks of his trade to tail and investigate the latest of his infidelity cases.
Like all good noir's, however, our doggedly determined P. In this case, the possibility of murder and the financial benefits of gentrification.
As a result, Chinatown becomes a labyrinthine puzzle of a wider political spectrum that reaches far beyond anything expected and where nothing is quite as it seems.
It's apparent from the offset that Chinatown is an impeccably crafted film with a measured pace and an attention to detail that has rarely been matched.
