Use quotes from Gilliat and Kael. The film Chinatown (1974) is a neo-noir‚ psychological drama film‚ based on the California Water Wars. If the film had ended the way Robert Townes’ had anticipated it to‚ the private eye/detective‚ Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson)‚ upon realising the nightmare that Evelyn Mulray (Faye Dunaway) had been through‚ and after she had killed her father who had raped her‚ would have helped Evelyn’s daughter escape to Mexico to be safe.
