Jack Nicholson 2-Pack, The

Double Feature includes: "Chinatown" - 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. Hired by a beautiful socialite (Faye Dunaway) to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web..."Chinatown." Co-starring film legend John Huston and featuring an Academy Award(R)-winning script by Robert Towne, "Chinatown" captures a lost era in a masterfully woven movie that remains a timeless gem. "The Two Jakes" - Jack Nicholson returns as private eye Jake Gittes in this atmospheric "Chinatown" follow-up that's hit upon "the elusive sequel formula for somehow enhancing a great original" (Mike Clark, USA Today). Much has changed since we last saw Jake. The war has come and gone; 1948 Los Angeles teems with optimism and fast bucks. But there's one thing Jake knows hasn't changed: "Nine times out of ten, if you follow the money you will get to the truth." And that's the trail he follows when a routine case of marital hanky panky explodes into a murder that's tied to a grab for oil - and to Jake's own past.
