Well, let's see—Roman Polanski's post-Manson hit movie, critically  
acclaimed, heavily influenced by Chandler. Haven't thought about it  
too much really. Really worth looking into. Remember Doc's acid trips  
where he's escaping rising water? Should definitely watch Chinatown,  
seems like the end of a cycle that started off with Nick Danger..
