Of course, the further you get from the time period you're portraying...
When Chinatown was made, 1937 was "37 years ago".
37 years ago now would be 1980!
I admire Chinatown more than I have a great affection for it, though. I do really like L.A. Confidential, which I've seen a dozen times; very recently, too. It played last Saturday night downtown at the Orpheum!

I don't usually like to know about film mistakes if I'm not aware of them, because it seems that once you do, you always look for it again the next time you see it, but I have to ask where that scene is in L.A. Confidential?
