The Conversation substitutes surveillance recording for photography (that was in Blow Up), not the other way around.

I just bought this on Blu-ray a week ago, brought it home to Florida to watch with my wife, and we never got to it before I was on the road again. Seen this a couple of dozen times, but I'm really anxious to see the blu-ray print. I've read it kills.

I think it definitely worked.

I always thought The Conversation and Blow Up would be a perfect double feature. Now I know why.

It feels like a small gem, a masterpiece shadowed by the epic force of The Godfather.

That and Hackman's brilliant performance. That last sequence of him playing the sax is heartbreaking.
