CHINATOWN 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟰

Chinatown is a 1974 American neo-noir mystery film directed by Roman Polanski from a screenplay by Robert Towne. The film stars Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. It was inspired by the California water wars, a series of disputes over southern California water at the beginning of the 20th century, by which Los Angeles interests secured water rights in the Owens Valley. The Robert Evans production, released by Paramount Pictures, was Polanski's last film in the United States and features many elements of film noir, particularly a multi-layered story that is part mystery and part psychological drama. Chinatown was released in the United States on June 20, 1974, to high critical and commercial success.

Chinatown received a leading 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (for Polanski), Best Actor (for Nicholson) and Best Actress (for Dunaway), winning Best Original Screenplay. At the 28th British Academy Film Awards, the film received 11 nominations, including Best Film, Best Actress in a Leading Role (for Dunaway) and Best Actor in a Supporting Role (for Huston), and won a leading 3 awards, including Best Direction (for Polanski) and Best Actor in a Leading Role (for Nicholson). It also received 7 nominations at the 32nd Golden Globe Awards, including Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama (for Dunaway) and Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture (for Huston), and won 4 awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director (for Polanski) and Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama (for Nicholson).

The American Film Institute placed it second among its top ten mystery films in 2008. In 1991, the film was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". It is also often cited as one of the greatest films of all time.

A sequel, The Two Jakes, was released in 1990, again starring Nicholson, who also directed, with Robert Towne returning to write the screenplay. The film failed to match the acclaim of its predecessor.

Swipe File #1: “Blood of Dracula” (1957)

["Swipe" refers to the appropriation of existing art and/or design elements, either actually cut-and-pasting or recreating images. I don't count deliberate parodies or imitations of art/design style, but your opinion may vary.]

Blood of Dracula was a 1957 film produced by Herman Cohen, who'd also made I Was a Teenage Werewolf and I Was a Teenage Frankenstein. I guess I Was a Teenage Dracula or I Was Teenage Vampire didn't sound quite right?

The Blood of Dracula poster is sometimes attributed to famed poster artist Reynold Brown, but it does not appear on the list here: https://reynoldbrown.com/portfolio/ However, Brown did do I Was a Teenage Werewolf for the same producer, so it’s possible this was also his work.

The poster appears to be based on a full-page illustration for the story “Heels Are Where You Find Them,” in “Adam” magazine (volume 1, number 10, dated 1957). Charles Collum is credited for the art in some sources but not in the magazine itself.

Artist Bill Alexander created his version of the Blood of Dracula artwork for the cover of Eerie Publications’ “Tales of Voodoo” (vol. 7, #3, May 1974). This was repeated in black-and-white as the back cover of “Weird Vampire Tales” v. 3 #2 1979 and the inside back cover of v.3 #4 1980.

Phillip Scheer’s makeup design for the film’s angsty teen protagonist Nancy (played by Sandra Harrison) has become iconic on its own, and was adapted by an unknown artist for the Mexican comic book “Monstruos,” issue 70 (October 1964).
