"70's sleaze?" Such a dismissive tone in the headline. The "real Los Angeles" in all its corruption had never been captured in a major Hollywood film before, particularly in color. The Production Code had prohibited these types of stories for decades. To call it 70's sleaze does the film a great disservice.
I was just referring to the way 70’s films could look at the grimy, scummy underbelly of society that the noir films from the 40s and 50s couldn’t quite represent to the full extent. I think we agree on what you’re saying, because that’s exactly what I was alluding to with that title. -Mikiah
The Blade Runner rooftop battle at the end of the movie was filmed where Mulholland had his penthouse office. Anyway, in between "Chinatown" and "True Detective Season 2" the California racket is pretty much spelled out.
