Trivia

Screenwriter Robert Towne originally planned a trilogy of movies involving private investigator J.J. Gittes. The third movie, called Cloverleaf after a downtown Los Angeles interchange, was to take place in the 1950's and concerned the building of the massive freeway system and resultant air pollution, continuing with the backdrop of greedy developers and tycoons as in Chinatown (water rights) and The Two Jakes (oil).
