Chinatown | 1974 | Final | German A1

Chinatown is a 1974 film directed by Roman Polanski. Produced by Robert Evans and written by Robert Towne. The film stars Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Hillerman, Perry Lopez and Burt Young. In 1971, the producer Robert Evans offered Robert Towne $175,000 to write a screenplay for The Great Gatsby, but Towne felt he could not better the original F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. Instead, Towne asked for $25,000 to write his own story, Chinatown. Chinatown was the Roman Polanski's last film in the United States and features many elements of classic film noir, particularly a multi-layered story that is part mystery and psychological drama. Chinatown was nominated for 11 Academy Awards but won only 1 for Best Original Screenplay awarded to Robert Towne. It was nominated for 7 Golden Globe...
