Unrivaled reprise of tough cop/PI film noir. Nicholson barely a kid . . . Dunaway minus blond locks. Huston playing the gruff power monger. Tragic ending. Fun to see bungalow style houses and other architecture typical of the period: old phones; old cars, beautifully appointed props. Evil lurks just under the surface and has its out in the final scene.
