A landmark movie in the film noir tradition, Roman Polanski's 'Chinatown' stands as a true screen classic. Jack Nicholson is private eye Jake Gittes, living off the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-war Southern California.

What is The Trouble With Harry? Well, it's the fact that he's dead, and while no-one really minds, everybody thinks they are responsible.
