The classic always seems to be the best well believe it or not I had to see this movie because a good deal of parts seem to be found in his more recent "Enemy of the State" Staring Gene Hackman and Will Smith with the tones being the same only in a more technology based society. Keeps you wondering "WHO" and does your job make what you do bad as the addage goes depends if you view the whole picture and not judge on just fragments. Strong, riviting, with a twist.

Apres "The Godfather," Francis Ford Coppola decided to indulge his artistic urges and this is what he produced. It's arty alright, but it's also very boring. Gene Hackman is wasted. A very young Harrison Ford is a hoot to see, though. There's a limited jazz soundtrack. It's primarily interesting as a film to look back at the very dated early '70s styles.

There are some works of art that are obviously derivative of others, and obviously inferior, because they simply ape the earlier work, tweak a few minor things, and try to pass off their theft as `homage'. The Conversation (1974), written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is not one of those minor works. It has a manifest endebtedness to Michelangelo Antonioni's brilliant 1966 film, Blowup, yet it does not merely ape that film's existential dilemma of an accidental photograph possibly cluing its lead character into murder. Instead, The Conversation probes far more deeply into its lead character Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) and his life, to see what might cause a man to misinterpret reality to suit his own psychic needs.
Another major difference is that the tale in Blowup is one that is wholly accidental, whereas the story The Conversation is built upon is an outgrowth of the deliberate and paid for actions of Caul, the leading West Coast surveillance expert, who has been hired by the mysterious Director (Robert Duvall) of a giant corporation to spy on his wife Ann (Cindy Williams) and her lover Mark (Frederick Forrest). The film opens, around Christmastime, with Caul and his entourage tailing and listening in to the conversation of the two lovers as they stroll in Union Square, an open air park in downtown San Francisco. The fragmented bits of conversation he pieces together only later, and comes to feel that the couple is being set up for murder by his employer. ... Read More

Another great F. F. Coppola movie. With Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Cindy Williams and Terri Garr, how could it be anything but? Spooky and chilling, as electronic evesdropping and photographic surveilance is taken to depressing levels. You will be left wondering throughout most of the movie. Great and thought-provoking.

We loved "Enemy of the State" and this was recommended as the movie that led up to it. BORING! This movie is NOTHING like Enemy of the State, it was slow, predictable and a total sleeper. The only reason we watched to the end was that we were SURE it had to get better....it did not.
