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

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.
