A woman named Evelyn Mulwray hires private investigator J.J. "Jake" Gittes (Jack Nicholson) to perform matrimonial surveillance on her husband Hollis Mulwray, the chief engineer for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Mr. Mulwray is in the public eye due to his opposition to the proposed construction of a new dam, citing grounds of safety. Gittes tails him and photographs Mulwray with a young woman, Katherine Cross (Belinda Palmer). The photos hit the front page of the paper the next day, and Gittes is confronted by the real Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway). Gittes realizes he had been duped by a phony Mrs. Mulwray, and to repair his reputation, he must figure out who was behind the hiring, and why.
故事还是很凌乱的，到最后到底是谁杀了丈夫。
70年代的片子拍出了30年代的味道，人物和景致，人物内心的黑暗，畸形。大老板强奸了自己的女儿，最后又要把生下的不知是外孙女还是女儿占为己有，波翁的电影一向充斥着这些。还有就是这部片子非常血腥暴力，没有任何预警的割鼻子，爆脑门，真是被着实吓了一跳。
现如今已经拍不出这么混乱又精彩的电影了，生活总是一如往常，没有任何惊险，值得去窥探的地方。
电影微评：唐人街
