Nice Tribute To The Great Screenwriter, Robert Towne

Oh to express and in both instances, that of the great career and contributions of Robert Towne (“Chinatown” “The Godfather” and specifically the Polanski insisted– ” Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown,” to Jack Nicholson’s “Jake, ” among so much else) and this morning’s tribute to Mr. Towne, who died days back at age 89, by Scott Simon–beautiful expression manifests.

I share Mr. Simon’s tribute and laud and thank Mr. Towne for so much meaningful, entertaining, often humorous writing.

Enjoy.

Opinion: Remembering the star screenwriter Robert Towne

Click below to view, as Joe Mantell speaks the iconic line to Jack/”Jake” as the Roman Polanski, directed “Chinatown” ends.

Mr. Sheppard, perhaps “intro-ing” Mr. Towne in a better place, and for a needed “rewrite.”
