What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is set in 1948, eleven years after the events of Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown” (1974).
  • Jack Nicholson gained weight for the role of an older J.J. Gittes.
  • The film features a wire recorder, i.e., a device using a magnet to record vibrations onto steel wire as it passes through the device. The recording quality was surprisingly good for its time. The film features a Webster-Chicago model 80 wire recorder, which was manufactured from 1948 to 1950.
  • The film was conceived in the mid-1980s, and was originally planned to star Jack Nicholson alongside Kathy Moriarty, however, after numerous delays in starting filming and due to Moriarty's physical and emotional state, the role was given to another actress.
