The Paramount’s 2008 Summer Film Series continues Wednesday with Chinatown, followed by L.A. Confidential, and switches the order Thursday for those who can’t make it all in one night. Two classic, award-winning noir flicks for the price of one in a theater as old as the detective genre itself—now that’s the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Thrill to the classic noir of Roman Polanski’s 1974 thriller starring Jack Nicholson as a tough talking P.I., Faye Dunaway as his femme fatale, and more cool detective action than you can shake a stick at. Robert Towne’s Academy Award-winning script has so many twists and turns you won’t even want to take a bathroom break.
If you like classic detective stories with cigarettes, highballs of scotch, and high-class dames with great gams, (and who doesn’t, really?), these are two of the best. As you watch these palookas working their way to the bottom of a good mystery, you’ll remember the other meaning of the word “cool."
