Chinatown and the Last Detail: Two Screenplays -- Robert Towne

Chinatown, generally regarded as the Great American Screenplay, follows a seedy private investigator, Jake Gittes, as he becomes involved in a case far more complicated than he ever imagined. Instead of adultery and divorce, he uncovers a conspiracy reaching to the economic foundations of Los Angeles. Set in the 1930s, the film was directed by Roman Polanski and stars Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, and John Huston.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Robert Towne<br><b>Publisher:</b> Grove Press<br><b>Published:</b> 12/08/1997<br><b>Pages:</b> 432<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.61lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.31h x 5.46w x 0.84d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780802134011
