Clever, suspenseful writing
If you like the film, and you write a bit, you'll love this. I like having the small 'pocket-size' screenplays around to remind you how it's done. Better than a hundred-page print-out from some script you found on the net. If you haven't seen the film, read this first, and then watch Nicholson's masterful performance, especially the nose/knife thing...

Superb script. Appalling formating
Robert Towne's script for Chinatown is one of the best screenplays ever writen and as such it is very sad indeed that Faber have done such a poor job of keeping the proper format of the script.

Many of the actions and the scene descriptions have in error been formatted as scene headings making reading the screenplay in this edition much of a guessing game.
