Was Chinatown Jerry Goldsmith's greatest score? The Blue Max? Patton? I put my money on Patton, but one thing is inarguable, in my mind: Chinatown was the greatest picture Goldsmith ever got the chance to score.
 

John Huston and Jack Nicholson 

I had planned on including this score in my memorial concert, but ran out of time. Next year, it’ll be on the program.
