CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Friday, September 19, 1997:<\/em> Warner Bros.<\/strong> releases the Regency Enterprises<\/strong> production of L.A. CONFIDENTIAL<\/strong>, based on the James Ellroy<\/strong> crime novel of the same name, to more than 750 theaters nationwide. The stylish neo-noir<\/em> is directed by Curtis Hanson<\/strong> and stars Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, James Cromwell, David Strathairn, Danny DeVito<\/strong>, and Kim Basinger<\/strong>, the latter of whom would win an Academy Award<\/strong> for her work along with Hanson and Brian Helgeland<\/strong> for their screenplay adaptation. It is rumored this genre classic\u2019s title, style, and apropos mise-en-sc\u00e8ne<\/em> might possibly have influenced the identity of a certain film digest published far from the City of Angels, mired somewhere in the middle of the mysterious Midwest, beginning a decade later.<\/p>\n
