If you haven't seen "Chinatown" lately (I say "lately" because I know you've seen it at least once), you really need to see it again. It's an amazing movie. John Huston, as the very rich Mr. Cross, exudes evil from every pore. Jack Nicholson, only just becoming famous, hasn't yet become "Jack Nicholson", so he's actually acting, and doing a damn fine job of it. And Faye Dunaway is porcelain perfect and just as fragile. Last, Roman Polanski is one heck of a director. This is a movie that will, assuming a suitable medium can be found for its preservation, continue to be watched for decades to come.
