The Jake Gittes Collection

When a private detective is hired to investigate a simple case of infidelity, he ends up discovering a huge secret network of corruption perpetrated by high-profile businesspeople, politicians and policemen. This is considered one of the best screenplays of all time, a haunting and disturbing story about how greed turns into corruption in a system which values power and money over individuals.

Private detective Jake Gittes has a new client. Jake Berman believes his wife is cheating on him and wants Gittes and his associates to catch her in the act. Everything appears to be going according to plan until Berman shoots the man dead. It should be an open-and-shut case but now Gittes is drawn into a complex web that involves far more than infidelity.
