About this product

Product Information

Francis Ford Coppola's THE CONVERSATION is a towering achievement, a masterfully constructed portrait of one man's descent into madness. Gene Hackman delivers a devastating performance as Harry Caul, a surveillance expert who gets paid to invade the privacy of strangers. The film's classic opening shot is a long, slow zoom into Union Square in San Francisco, as a young couple, Mark (Frederic Forrest) and Ann (Cindy Williams), are having what seems like an otherwise mundane conversation. However, when it is revealed that Harry and his assistant Stanley (John Cazale) are eavesdropping from a nearby van, it becomes clear that something more serious is happening. Later, after Harry painstakingly reconstructs the conversation from several different audio sources, he uncovers a snippet of dialogue that unsettles him. Suspicious of his client's motives for wanting the tape, Harry becomes uncharacteristically worried about the people he may have endangered, sending him into a dangerous mental tailspin.With Harry Caul, Coppola and Hackman have managed to create one of cinema's most unforgettable characters, a man who appears to be in control on the outside but who is, in fact, crumbling on the inside. Though Teri Garr, Harrison Ford, and Allen Garfield deliver standout supporting turns, THE CONVERSATION is Hackman's show. Inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni's BLOW UP (1966), THE CONVERSATION in turn went on to influence Brian De Palma's own surveillance thriller, BLOW OUT (1981).

    Awesome movie with awesome special features - worth much more than I paid!

    I loved this movie when I first saw it in a theater, and I already owned the DVD. I think it's a masterpiece. I bought THIS DVD for the special features. In his commentary Francis Ford Coppola answered several questions I've had about this movie for 50 years! And as a matter of fact, everything he says is fascinating. And there's also a commentary by the film editor. It doesn't get better than this!

    The Conversation was a waste of time.

    I really like the characters Gene Hackman plays, but this one is an exception. I found the movie boring and dragged out way too long.

  • Good movie worth seeing

    This movie is worth a viewing. A good character study of paranoid psychosis. Hackman does a great job here as does Coppola with his direction. This movie was made between Godfather 1 and 2. It was also very interesting to see how much San Francisco has changed since 1973...No bum poo!
