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? Wonderful acting by everyone and a story that will stay with you forever. Sending feedback... Thank you for your feedback. Sorry, we failed to record your vote. 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

He's supposed to be the leading authority in freelance surveillance, but from the start there are hints that while he's good, he's also careless. While his apartment is locked, his landlord leaves him a Happy Birthday present. His mistress, Amy (Teri Garr in a small role) tells him she saw him standing in the staircase for an entire hour. He invites a rival co-worker to his office (which seems to be a warehouse) with several other people and carelessly allows the man to record his own conversation by means of what looks to be an innocuous pen which wouldn't be out of place in any James Bond movie. And his liaison with a call girl he meets at that party results in her stealing the tapes of a conversation he has recorded and that has lately been the focus of his obsession. This is Harry Caul, a loner who is a little too glum to be good company and takes his work seriously. Maybe too seriously -- which eventually proves to be his downfall. The fact that his own co-worker Stan (John Cazale) leaves him to go work for a rival agency, Moran, only serves to prove Harry is really someone who is so much a loner he drives anyone away from him. He can't seem to have any form of relationship -- it's only time when Amy will also leave him as she seems somewhat frustrated by this wall of privacy he's built around himself. His entire life revolves around secrecy, and he only is able to live vicariously throughout others, even if he himself feels guilty about it and would deny it because to top it all, he has a strong religious streak, and discloses under confession that he was witness of a surveillance gone wrong and which resulted in the deaths of three people. Now this assignment has him worried: he's listened to a conversation between a man and a woman and is afraid the woman's husband may try to kill them both. But is this what he's heard, or has been misinterpreted due to the limitations and distortions of sound? Like 1966's BLOW UP, which dealt with what the human eye is capable of discerning through the mechanism of a camera and what happens when one zooms in, THE CONVERSATION deals with the manipulation of sound to make out a sentence that lies just underneath the sounds of the city. But while that elusive sentence comes through -- "he's kill us if he had the chance" -- what Harry fails to catch is the intonation itself, which would have radically altered his deduction and completely shifted his attention. Like the definition of the word "caul", Harry is unable to see (or hear) the reality, or that he's been a victim of his own occupation by the end of the film; by making himself visible to whom he thinks was in danger, he's now made himself the target of surveillance by the same agency who employed him as he receives that disturbing call at the end: "We'll be listening to you. " Whether it be real or not, one shot implies it is: a panning shot to the right, then to the left, from an elevated angle, showing us the destruction of Harry's apartment through his own hands as he has fruitlessly tries to debug his place. It's the tell-tale pan of a surveillance camera, which he has failed to discover. Again. This is most definitely not an action-packed thriller, but one that is totally cerebral -- it forces you to pay attention, to listen, to heighten your senses and discover for yourself what Harry is trying to find even when we know he will be wrong all along. Even as he seems to teeter over madness near the end as his grisly discovery of blood pouring out of a toilet bowl at the Jack Tarr Hotel indicates, we still wonder if he's actually seeing this, or not. Like BLOW UP, this is one of those mysteries that doesn't look to get solved cleanly, but by being inconclusive, lingers in the mind long after the credits have rolled, and in the process, leaves one man destroyed.

Audrey Sheppard made Hank Williams life a living hell and likely contributed significantly to his early death. She divorced Hank. Hank Williams was married to Billie Jean Jones when he died in 1952, not with Audrey. They had separated once before Hank Jr was born. When they divorced in 1951 she called Willams and demanded he be out of the house when she got home. She managed to lawyer their house and half of his future royalty earnings away from him. No one but Hank Jr thinks Hank Sr. would want to be with the bitch in the afterlife forevermore. That would be Hank Williams definition of being sent to HELL. Even Hank Jr couldn't stand Audrey. He was estranged from his mother as soon as he turned 18. This song is the usual Hank Jr bullshit.
