Description
Private eye Jake Gittes lives off of the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-World War II Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together.
Now I see what inspired the creators of L.A. Noire.. (or maybe they were inspired by something else)
In general, it's a great movie! No wonder the Oscar for the original screenplay
