Forget about it Jake. It’s Chinatown
The unforgettable film-noir classic, Chinatown, was released on this date.
After several takes that never looked quite right, Faye Dunaway got annoyed and told Jack Nicholson to actually slap her. He did and felt very guilty for it, despite it being Dunaway’s decision. The shot made it into the movie.
