Chinatown, Roman Polanski's homage to 1930s detective movies, is one of the few really good films playing in Boston this week. Jack Nicholson is no Humphrey Bograt, but he does make an extremely convincing badass private eye. When Faye Dunaway is good, she's very good, and in this one she's excellent. The plot is fun but ultimately insignificant. Worth traveling out of Cambridge for, Chinatown is playing at Cleveland Circle...
Much as it would seem to indicate a hurried action on the part of Hollywood moguls to capitalize on the recent interest in Morocca, through the efforts of the stars and bang-up plot, the picture holds a good deal of entertainment value. Mumphrey Bograt at the callous, but secretly sentimental tough guy finally becomes a martyred lover. As for Miss Bergman, she makes every other publicity photo out of Hollywood blush for shame...
