great quote about the film.. "This tense, paranoid thriller presents Francis Ford Coppola at his finest—and makes some remarkably advanced arguments about technology's role in society that still resonate today."

One of my favourite films. I found the denouement near the end quite surprising/shocking. And I'm still trying to work out how the "bugger was bugged". :scratch:

I'm also a fan of 'The Conversation', Gene Hackman was well cast.

This DVD arrived today, not seen it for ages, but I remember thinking it was very good.

I've been wanting to see that for years. I've seen most decent movies, but somehow missed that one.

Recently bought the DVD. Not watched it yet, saw it about forty years ago.

One of my top 10 films now...Little Big Man from 1970. Stars Dustin Hoffman, Chief Dan George, Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, Jeff Corey and Richard Mulligan, and directed by Arthur Penn.
A revisionist, anti-establishment Western, it was summed up well by Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, describing Little Big Man as "an endlessly entertaining attempt to spin an epic in the form of a yarn."

This as you see is the blu ray release and very good picture and sound on it.

It must be over thirty years since I saw that. I remember thinking it was an amazing film.

(Richard Mulligan was the big blond guy who played the constantly bemused husband Burt in the old send-up sitcom 'Soap', in which he was excellent and very funny)
