You get tough. You get tender. You get close to each other. Maybe you even get close to the truth.

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.

08 December 2020 8 Great detective. Solidly shot. Great actors. The music is expressive, but suitable only for the background. I enjoyed watching it. I can recommend lovers of detectives without shooting, catching up and senseless killings.
