FILM The Conversation Walter Murch

Murch tells us The Conversation was the first film he edited. He was also a sound designer.

Here he talks abut that famous, “He’d kills us if he had the chance” that crackly indistinct conversation that Harry Caul and his team record during a complex surveillance operation which happens with the credits running.at the beginning of the film. And at the end of the video explains how he edited in another version of the sentence with different emphasis later in the film.
