- The Conversation began, appropriately, with a conversation. The story that would become The Conversation began with a conversation between two directors.
- The Conversation was inspired by Herman Hesse and Blow-Up. With the notion of a film about eavesdropping using state-of-the-art electronic surveillance equipment in his mind, Coppola began writing The Conversation in 1967, though he noted on the commentary track for the film that he set the script aside at one point, and told Film Comment that he didn’t finish the script until 1969.
- The concept for The Conversation came first, and then the story. Though he was heavily inspired by Blow-Up in the sense that it’s also a thriller about an investigative puzzle that an unlikely person is trying to solve, Coppola noted on the commentary track for The Conversation that he was actually more inspired by things like the “textures” in films by people like Antonioni.
- Francis Ford Coppola wanted to make The Conversation before he made The Godfather. Coppola finished writing The Conversation in 1969, the same year he released his film The Rain People.
