How do you like them apples?
1974 Roman Polanski
A very young looking Jack Nicholson plays a private detective JJ 'Jake' Giddes specialising in catching unscroupulous other halfs. He is hired by Evelyn Mulwray when she suspects her husband Hollis, builder of the city's water supply system, of having an affair.
All is not what it seems and when Hollis is found dead Jake becomes involved in something far more complex than a matromonial affiar.
It's shot in a style of earlier films, not like the usual fair that was around in the early 70s. I thought it would get more involved with the corruption of the water men, but it takes a twist away from that near the end and that side of the story gets lost.
Anyway, its watchable 7/10
