Gene Hackman stars in THE CONVERSATION as Harry Caul, a surveillance expert whose job is taping the lives and conversations of others. With the character of Caul, director Francis Ford Coppola has created a complex role for which Hackman is perfect - a man in complete control on the outside but breaking down within. Teri Garr, Harrison Ford, and Elizabeth MacRae co-star, but Hackman, in top form in every scene, is the real reason to watch this true classic. The stirring, classic opening shot of the film is a long, slow zoom into Union Square in San Francisco. A young couple, Mark and Ann, are having what seems like a mundane conversation while Harry and his assistant Stanley eavesdrop from a nearby van. But when Harry carefully analyses his tape, he uncovers bits of unsettling dialogue. Suspicious of his client`s motives for wanting the tape, he becomes uncharacteristically worried about the people he may have endangered.

Top Film.
Hat zwar einige böse Logikköcher in der Story, fallen aber den meisten nicht auf.
Super Atmosphäre. Alles baut sich langsam auf, um sich im dritten Akt in gutem Thrill zu entladen.
Gene Hackman genial, wie schon in French Con
