Francis Ford Coppola's 1974, tense contemporary thriller, gives The Godfather: Part II a run for its money when it comes to citing the director's best.
The Academy Awards agreed, nominating both for a Best Picture Oscar in its 1974 batch, though the brilliant Corleone sequel would pip The Conversation to the post on the night.
Soundtrack from the 1974 Francis Ford Coppola film 'The Conversation,' with Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Allen Garfield, Frederic Forrest, Harrison Ford, Cindy Williams, Michael Higgins, Elizabeth MacRae, Teri Garr, Ramon Bieri & Robert Duvall.
Gene Hackman plays hi-tech wiretapper Harry Caul, a master in his field but away from his job a socially awkward loner.
Composer David Shire captures his twilight world with a magnificent score entirely performed on solo piano. The jazz flavour counteracts perfectly alongside Harry's lonely sax playing in his apartment, his escape from his insidious occupation.
Shire, Coppola's brother-in-law having married his sister Talia had made his mark on Broadway and Hollywood as a composer, songwriter and arranger.
His scores include some of the biggest films of the 1970s including The Taking Of Pelham 123, All The President's Men and Norma Rae, the latter securing him an Oscar for Best Music, Original Song, It Goes Like It Goes.
