Environmental Nightmares

[John Carvill]

<<
Apropos of this, .....I am not the expert on SoCal noir that this board needs
and/or has, depending on your stance in the recent flame war, so let
me ask you all: IV and Chinatown -- are there significant resonances
there?

I would say yes, Chinatown is one of the movies which spring
immediately to mind in relation to IV, particularly if you include its
(flawed but still very worthwhile) sequel, The Two Jakes.
