English Summary:
The Conversation is a 1974 American mystery thriller film 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.
The Conversation won the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film, the highest honor at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival. It was nominated for three Academy Awards in 1974 and lost Best Picture to The Godfather Part II, another Francis Ford Coppola film. In 1995, it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Hungarian Summary:
Harry Caul profi lehallgató szakember, aki gondosan ügyel arra, hogy a munkáját sohase keverje össze a magánéletével. Legújabb megbízása egy fiatal pár nyomon követése, beszélgetéseik rögzítése. Az ismeretlen megbízó, és a gyanús fizetési körülmények miatt Harry még alaposabb végzi munkáját. Az egyik felvételen nehezen értelmezhető szövegmaradványokra bukkan, amelyek egy gyilkosságra utalnak. Harry elhatározza, hogy utánajár az ügynek. A nyomozása során azonban rá kell jönnie, hogy kelepcébe került.
