Jim Philip’s “Sense of Home” Film
Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winner of a Best Screenplay Oscar for Robert Towne, this fascinating mystery in the Hammett-Chandler tradition has become a contemporary American classic with its superbly acted tale of intrigue, conflicted loyalties, overwhelming greed, and the futility of honor in a corrupt world. Jack Nicholson plays Jake Gittes, a cocky private eye in 1930s Los Angeles who is led into a complex and volatile situation by the wife of a murdered Water Commissioner (Faye Dunaway as the femme fatale). As Jake stubbornly digs deeper, what started out as a simple case of marital infidelity soon escalates into a quagmire of political corruption, evil, and dark family secrets.
