Classic Movie Series: The Conversation

Join host Jeff Stoodt at 6:15 p.m. for trivia and prizes before you watch another film in the "classic movie" series:  "The Conversation" (1974), which will start at promptly at 6:30.  

Francis Ford Coppola directed this brilliant film about an obsessive surveillance expert (Gene Hackman)  who finds himself entangled in murder and high-level power plays.  An unbilled Robert Duvall has a cameo.  Coppola's top-notch, disturbing script makes larger statements about privacy and personal responsibility.  One of the best films of the 1970s, "The Conversation" is a perfect choice in an age in which privacy is endangered.  This movie is 113 minutes long and is rated PG.
