...it wasn't a box office draw....and that it gets much less ink and acclaim than Coppola's more flamboyant masterpieces Godfathers 1 & 2 and Apocalypse Now (not to even mention acclaimed 70's era films like Taxi Driver).I saw The Conversation in theaters when it came out - it was under-rated IMO at the time.
Again, Oscars - much less Oscar noms- aren't particularly accurate barometers of long-term regard, and then as now AMPAS gives a nod to the occassional underdog.
