Over his storied career, Jack Nicholson has only played one detective, Jake Gittes, who made his debut in 1974’s Chinatown. “I just liked it because it was a departure from most films,” Jack said. “It was a detective with no gun.”
Chinatown, an ambitious neo-noir thriller starring Jack, Faye Dunaway and John Huston, would be among that year’s top 20 highest-grossing movies and earn 10 Academy Award nominations. “It’s a very carefully made film,” says Sam Wasson, author of The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood. “It presents a perfect American nightmare.”
