Widely regarded as one of the greatest American films ever made, this classic neo-noir from director Roman Polanski features an Oscar-winning screenplay by Robert Towne and stars Jack Nicholson as a private investigator, whose seemingly routine adultery case unravels into a labyrinth of murder, political corruption, and family secrets in 1930s Los Angeles. Huston stars as Noah Cross, a charismatic patriarch whose immense wealth and influence conceal a monstrous moral rot. Adding an intriguing off-screen connection, Nicholson was romantically involved with Huston’s daughter, Anjelica Huston, during the production, beginning a relationship that would last for many years.
