Feb 5, 2014 · BEST PICTURE. Chinatown – Robert Evans. The Conversation – Francis Ford Coppola, Fred Roos. The Godfather Part II – Francis Ford Coppola, Gray Frederickson, Fred Roos. Lenny – Marvin Worth.
Feb 6, 2000 · “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. The tone was set by Dashiel Hammett, and its greatest practitioner was Raymond Chandler.
Aug 24, 2017 · Won: Art Carney, Harry and Tonto. Should've won: Al Pacino, The Godfather Part II. Ah, 1974, that gangbusters year at the Oscars when the colossal likes of Chinatown, The Conversation, Lenny and the triumphant The Godfather Part II (and, uh, The Towering Inferno) faced off for awards glory.
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.
