Having been involved in bugging people for years in the surveillance business Harry Caul, Gene Hackman, has tried to detach himself from his job on snooping into other peoples business by trying to keep what he does at far away from himself as possible. Hired to do a job for the Director, Robert Duvall, in San Francisco Harry and his assistant Stan, John Cazale, have Ann & Mark, Cindy Williams & Fredrick Forrest, staked out with a number of bugging devices as well as men on the scene in this park picking up everything that the couple says.
This assignment is no big deal for Harry since he's done far bigger jobs over the years making him the #1 bugger on the west coast if not the entire country or even the world. What we at the time don't know, and are soon to find out, is that Harry has a very guilty conscience coupled with his being a very serious and observant Catholic about an event that has been burning up insides him. Harry pulled off an almost impossible spying job, that made him the legend in the spying business that he is now back in the summer of 1968 a job that cost the lives of three innocent people.
Checking out the tapes on Ann and her husband Mark Harry picks up, after cleaning out the background noises, Mark saying " he'll kill us if he got the chance" and goes into a panic. Harry feels that he's somehow setting up the two to be murdered by the Director. With him already guilt-ridden over the deaths of the three people that he somehow involved in his surveillance job back in 1968 this, the possible murder of Ann & Mark, is too much for Harry's guilt-ridden soul to bare and he starts to do everything he can to stop it; not giving over the surveillance tapes to the Director's stooge the snooty and arrogant, which makes Harry all that more determined not to to give him the tapes, Martin Stett (Harrison Ford.
Statt under orders from the Director to get the tapes, which Harry is to be paid 15,000.00 for, has Harry followed where his cover is easily discovered, the arrogant jerk doesn't even bother to put on a disguise, by a very observant Harry. Stett finally get's to Harry, by using someone else, at a party for fellow snooper at his loft, where Harry has all his tapes and equipment. Having invited top New York bugger Bernie Moran, Alen Garfield, who's very jealous of Harry for being the top man in the bugging business with him a very distance second and one of his lady friends Meredith, Elizabeth MacRae, Harry is at first made to look like a fool, by Bernie having him bugged without knowing it. Things got even worse with Meredith bedding Harry down in his loft as she induced Harry to spend the night with her, after everyone else left, not because Harry is so sexy and debonair but that Meredith is secretly working for the Director. As Harry is in dreamland Meredith slips out of his place with the very important tapes of Ann and Mark that Harry had hidden there.
With no choice left to him Harry goes to see the Director the next day to pick up his fee for the tapes but he still has this bug up his a* about what the Director has in store for Ann & Mark. Knowing where their staying,a hotel in the city, which was on the tapes he gave the director Harry checks into a room next to theirs and bugs it to keep in touch with what's to happen to them and if something bad does, which Harry suspects, he can come riding to their rescue.
It turned that Harry was in a way right, but half-a* backwards right, about Ann & Mark and the Director. After going through a number of wild and paranoid induced hallucinations Harry finally came to his senses with the knowledge that there indeed was a murder in the works in all this but it wasn't exactly what he thought it would be with both the victims, or victim, and the murderer, or murderers, in this whole mind-numbing scenario being in reverse!
Harry now completely out of it knowing that the murder, that he so desperately tried to prevent, was actually made possible by his misinterpreting the evidence, thus not being able to stop it, has another death, like the three back in 1968, on his conscience. With the knowledge that he screwed everything up Harry goes back to his almost empty and spartan apartment, after he ripped out everything in it that wasn't bolted or nailed down, and tries to forget his troubles. Mindlessly plopping himself down in a corner, with the only thing that he can now relate too, and playing his beloved saxophone Harry is now disconnected from reality and his conscience. All this involvement with Ann Mark and the Director in regard to, what at first seemed like, a simple surveillance job on the part of Harry had just about driven him over the edge and left him in a state of such sever self-denial. Cut off from the world in order not to be exposed to both any human contact as well as becoming uninvolved in the wiretapping business that he's so good at doing on others, Harry in short has gone totally nuts.

The conversation analysis. Conversation starters. This suspenseful 70's thriller would have been worthy of an Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part 2 hadn't beaten it in the same year! Coppola draws on a familiar cast (Frederic Forrest, Robert Duvall, John Cazale) and the lead is an excellent Gene Hackman. Hackman delivers a surprisingly composed, sombre performance which echoes the slow-burning feel of 'The Conversation.
The conspiracy plot is a conversation recorded by Hackman and Cazale between a man and a woman in a park on a cold New York afternoon. The conversation is hazy and obscure. And when it is played over and over again, and the clarity grows, it becomes quite creepy indeed.
'The Conversation' is a beautifully subtle exploration of paranoia and prophetic in its depiction of secret agencies monitoring your every word. The pace is unrushed, yet this makes the explosive ending even more intense. All in all, one of Coppola's finest.

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016 Format: DVD Verified Purchase Even in a banner year for the company- Paramount had more than a normal share of box-office winners, and dominated the 1974 Academy Award lists with a record 38 nominations- The Conversation stood out as an extraordinary achievement. It was a fascinatingly original drama about an expert in bugging devices who investigates a murder plot and ends as a victim of his own obsession with overhearing others; he becomes convinced that surveillance is being turned on him, and paranoia takes over. The crux of Francis Ford Coppola's story was a tapped conversation the expert fatally misinterprets, and the movie was unique in making the eavesdropping microphone more important that the voyeuristic camera. It as a hit with the critics but less so with the public, perhaps because Gene Hackman's superbly acted central role ended in downbeat despair. The whole thing, indeed, was sombre and disturbing in its implications that anyone able to apply modern technology has anyone else's privacy at his mercy. Coppola's writing, direction and (with Fred Ross) production were consistently provocative and absorbing, with good performances by Allen Garfield, John Cazale, Robert Duvall, Frederic Forrest, Cindy Williams, Harrison Ford and Elizabeth MacRea. It was the Cannes Film Festival's grand prize winner. Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017 Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase Movie 1 of 1974 and 12 overall in my journey through films of my lifetime. I actually don't have a lot to say. The film was very good at almost every level including the music. I would say that perhaps some of the dialogue was clever while contrived at the same time. I like the effect of having the main character cherish his privacy while monitoring the private lives of others. This gives the audience a sense of experience of having privacy invaded while also giving the character a past, like he had witnessed so much personal intrusion he began to covet his own. As a moral point I think the concept of privacy is a powerful one although Coppola didn't play with that very much in "The Conversation. " I have only seen a few of his films but they are all incredible so far and this one fits in with the others I have experienced. I am also a big Hackman fan and he was great as usual. Pros -well directed, some very interesting camera shots -great and appropriate music that sets the mood well but also reflects what you see -great acting -great story -great ending Cons -some dialogue was a little contrived -the pacing was somewhat slow at times keeping this from the masterpiece I otherwise thought it was. Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018 Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation is a masterclass in brilliant directing. The cinematography is gorgeous and crafty. The acting is so real and subtle. The use of sound is actually genius. The music sets the tone. It's just very slow paced that holds back the excellent story and writing. Around every corner is a beautiful shot. The scenes are set up so well with unique set pieces and wholly originally locales from empty hotel rooms to a surveillance device convention to a business executive's office. It's all fascinating to look at with every moment. Gene Hackman delivers the most reserved and calm performance of his career as private investigator Harry Caul. You are constantly wondering what he is thinking. He is relatable in how human the character comes across as with every choice. He is cautious to the point of being paranoid, but he is also amiable around others if quiet. He loves jazz and listening to those around him. Hackman puts on a true display of complex acting with very little dialogue or movement. He's the perfect private investigator in The Conversation. A young Harrison Ford delivers a highly believable and threatening performance like no other in his career. Another stand out is Hackman's assistant listener Stan played by the funny and quirky John Cazale. Allen Garfield's amazingly underhanded as the Hackman's rival investigator Bernie. Overall, the entire ensemble delivers excellent acting for their respective roles. The Conversation can boast the most creative use of sound and voice recordings in any movie ever. The use of audio recordings and playback are played with by Coppola going in and out of conversations. Coppola utilizes the technology at his disposal for unique moments of listening in and spying on people. The subtle changes in volume and clarity are intentional and superbly executed. I am fascinated at how Coppola managed to pull of such a clever use of audio to enhance the movie watching experience. Audiences will be confused then enlightened in minutes as you solve the mystery along side Hackman's character. The music is beautiful piano from composer David Shire. There are long passages of delight piano melodies to liven up the mood, then long stretches of disquieting silence. The suspense is palpable as loud rushes of piano rhythms will soar into hearing with haunting sounds that generate a worrisome atmosphere to The Conversation. The score is excellent and quite memorable too. It really contributes to the suspenseful vibe that The Conversation contains. The writing and story is a tale of privacy, investigation, wiretapping, ethics, morality, and faith. Coppola's writing is realistic and quite deep. His topics still feel relevant and profound. He makes Hackman's Harry Caul character a man that must listen in and follow people, taping their lives, and risking their lives just for money. This wears heavy on Hackman's mind as he believes himself a man of faith. It is an intriguing take on ethical questions brought up during the course of an investigator's career. You will wonder whether bugging people is worth it too after watching The Conversation. Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2019 Format: Prime Video Verified Purchase Seeing 4 star and 5 star ratings piled on heavy was a lure. Francis Ford Coppola and Gene Hackman was the hook. Then there's the actual movie. I'm scratching my head over all the adulation. Did I watch the same film? I found it so plodding and depressive in no small part by the character created by Hackman with, I'm sure, Coppola's exacting direction. The guy was tortured, but did he have to torture the viewer for two hours? I found nothing about Harry that I seemed right. He couldn't get along with anyone including himself. The twist at the end was virtually of no interest either. I guess this stuff must be too "high-brow" for me or something. If it is anything it's a slow, and I mean slow, trip to exploring a flawed narcissistic and paranoid anti-social man who gets a comeuppance that matters not. Not a thriller, but a mystery anyone would rate it so high. Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2016 Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase A great story, with wonderful performances by some presently well known actors before they were famous. Harrison Ford is one. Gene Hackman is the private investigator doing audio surveillance for a rich client on the clients wife. The plot twist at the end is surprising, but to get it, you must listen very carefully to the recordings the investigator has made. This is the kind of film Hollywood is capable of making, but unfortunately they spend most of their time and money making movies for 13 year old boys. Spoiler Alert. There are no car chases, or things blowing up in this film. Top international reviews 5. 0 out of 5 stars One of the all time classics Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2019 Verified Purchase The half understood comments, the recording that convinces the innocents are the victims. A wonderful classic of a film that means more today than it did when it was first released. We are now living in an age where were are all recorded and spied on. But we do so with the understanding it is just something we will get used to. A picture or a brief comment wont be misunderstood. will it?

Please try again Report abuse Biter bit Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 26, 2014 Verified Purchase ‘The Conversation’(1974) is an excellent thriller (/chiller? ) starring Gene Hackman. If you’ve seen ‘Enemy of the State’ (1998), whether you liked it or not, I’d recommend you saw this one because of the contrast. Both focus on surveillance, but this film treats it from the ‘hacker’ viewpoint whereas the 1998 film mainly deals with surveillance from the target’s point of view. Both films are excellent but the 1998 film is full of action while this film is full of tension. But it’s not that simple and I think the essence lies in four lines of the script. Early on Harry Caul (Hackman) declares ‘I have no secrets’ but he’s lying because he’s just one big secret, even from himself (NB the confession scene and how the priest is gradually revealed as Harry falls apart). He loses his temper every time he discovers anybody has been spying on him. Then there’s the overheard ‘He’ll kill us if he got the chance’ which forms the kernel of the plot. Harry becomes obsessed with the idea he’s assisting in a murder (his RC background is crucial here as Harry HAS to see himself as a NEUTRAL observer). But he gets it all wrong. ‘Show and tell. How d’you do it? ” is a challenge from his fellow hackers which he finds almost impossible to meet. Harry insists he’s simply an objective collector of data by surveillance but any analysis of his technique exposes how much just how much he examines the target and destroys their privacy, whatever he may tell himself. Is this obeying the ‘Love thy neighbour as yourself’ commandment? Harry long bottles up the answer to that one. Finally he asserts after ringing a client that ‘You don’t have my telephone number’ because that gives that essential inner security. But ‘they’ do have it and Harry realises he’s become the target. Watch the film to see the effect on his personality. There’s an excellent performance from Hackman with good support from John Cazale, Allen Garfield and a young Harrison Ford. The soundtrack is brilliant both with the use of ‘snatched conversations’ (with its querky technical hitches) and a jazz-dominated musical background. Effects, montage etc. are good although I did wonder, apart from commercial reasons perhaps, why it had to be shot in colour. Easily worth 5 stars. One person found this helpful Absolute Classic. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2017 Verified Purchase Classic film of paranoia and government conspiracy. Hackman plays these characters so well. Even though unrelated (I think) this could be his character from Enemy of the State 30 years earlier. And then there's John Cazale. Imagine the heights he would've hit in his craft had he not died so young. Even the great Pacino was in awe of him. A conspiracy theory classic Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2019 Verified Purchase Brilliant film brilliantly acted! Really conveys a mans slide into paranoia and obsession AND how that paranoia and obsession already has a root in personality. And always a great metaphor on society in the West. A quiet masterpiece Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2006 Verified Purchase The Conversation is a quiet masterpiece, a great character piece that has been clearly thought through but never at the expense of the credibility of its central voyeur (Hackman even wears the peeping Tom's standard uniform of trenchcoat and prescription glasses). It's a glorious mixture of underplayed conspiracy, coincidence, paranoia and interpretation, reinterpretation and misinterpretation that marries form and content with a quiet assurance: at times the camerawork literally mimics automated surveillance cameras as the `best bugger on the West Coast' (a phrase that is open to serious misinterpretation in San Francisco) starts to unravel over the possible consequences of his actions. The DVD extras aren't plentiful, but more than make up for it in quality. 4. 0 out of 5 stars you feel you have to appreciate the painful efforts put into using reel-to-reel tape recording for surveillance... Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 26, 2015 Verified Purchase Technology has obviously moved on since this was first released and while taking everything in, you feel you have to appreciate the painful efforts put into using reel-to-reel tape recording for surveillance purposes and the frustrations that came with the job at hand. Hackman is a delight to watch as always. I can't remember seeing him in a film I didn't like. Complex and challenging Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2010 Verified Purchase It's amazing how successful films about loners can be: Taxi Driver, The Wrestler, The Conversation. This film gets inside a lonely man and dissects his problems with life. He's trying to make a living and keep out of trouble, but that's not enough, it doesn't work. As Coppola admits, he only got to make this film because he was so successful with The Godfather. It's art house, but very clever and intricate, posing questions about sanity, responsibility, religion, love and loneliness. Gene Hackman is beguiling. I was impressed by how far Coppola took the idea. 3 people found this helpful Great Film! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2019 Verified Purchase spys r us! great acting by the late Gene hackman, and the young Harrison Ford. So clever! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2013 Verified Purchase This film was put together in a time when most of us had not heard of computers, we were not watched all of the time by CCTV cameras, reel to reel tape recorders were normal as were plastic discs, no digital, with telephone systems that were crude, crackles on the line were normal and they were all expensive! This film is so well put together in that it shows just how hard it really is to record someone without them knowing, the technology seems so crude, however even with the miracles of todays age it is truly still impossible to easily record someone, so this film is true to life!
