   “Are you alone?” the private eye is asked in Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown.” “Isn’t everybody?” he replies. That loneliness is central to a lot of noir heroes, who plunder other people’s secrets while running from their own.

   Roger Ebert praises Roman Polanski's "Chinatown" as a 1940s private-eye movie that works because of the enduring strength of the genre itself. He admires Jack Nicholson's performance, the plot's logic and the film's comment on a time in the nation's history.

   Is Chinatown a good movie?

   • A Play. Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown” is not only a great entertainment, but something more, something I would have thought almost impossible: It’s a 1940s private-eye movie that doesn't depend on nostalgia or camp for its effect, but works because of the enduring strength of the genre itself.

   How does 'Chinatown' end?

   • Like most noir stories, “Chinatown” ends in a flurry of revelation. All is explained, relationships are redefined, and justice is done -- or not. Towne writes of “my eventual conflict with Roman and enduring disappointment over the literal and ghoulishly bleak climax” of the movie.
