ALTERNATIVE MOVIE POSTER
FILM SYNOPSIS AND IMAGERY

SYNOPSIS:

JJ 'Jake' Gittes is a private detective who seems to specialize in matrimonial cases. He is hired by Evelyn Mulwray when she suspects her husband Hollis, builder of the city's water supply system, of having an affair. Gittes does what he does best and photographs him with a young girl but in the ensuing scandal, it seems he was hired by an impersonator and not the real Mrs. Mulwray. When Mr. Mulwray is found dead, Jake is plunged into a complex web of deceit involving murder, incest and municipal corruption all related to the city's water supply.

MOST MEMORABLE QUOTE:

"You're a very nosey fella kitty cat, huh."

IMAGERY:


This is one of the most iconic images of Jack Nicholson throughout the film, he is often depicted smoking a cigarette in sunglasses and a fedora hat on. His nose is bandaged after an incident earlier on in the film where his nose is slit by roman polanski for being nosey.
