Private eye Jake Gittes lives off of the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-World War II Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Chinatown is a classic film noir centered on crime, mystery, and political corruption in 1930s Los Angeles. It contains absolutely no references to the Christmas season, plot points, themes, or iconography."
