Series Features The Conversation
The 1974 film The Conversation is an American psychological mystery
thriller written, produced, and directed by Francis Ford Coppola and
starring Gene Hackman with supporting roles by John Cazale, Allen
Garfield, Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest, Harrison Ford, Teri Garr
and Robert Duvall.
The plot revolves around a surveillance expert and the moral dilemma he
faces when his recordings reveal a potential murder. Coppola cited the
1966 film Blowup as a key influence. However since the film was
released to theaters just a few months before Richard Nixon resigned as
President, he felt that audiences interpreted the film to be a reaction
to the Watergate scandal.
It was nominated for three Academy Awards in 1974 and lost Best Picture
to The Godfather Part II, another Francis Ford Coppola film.
