In a legendary performance, three-time Academy Award® winner Jack Nicholson* stars as private eye Jake Gittes. Hired by a mysterious woman to investigate Hollis Mulwray, the chief engineer of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Gittes’ sleuthing brings him into contact with Mulwray’s wife (Academy Award® winner Faye Dunaway**), a stunning socialite with secrets of her own.
