Teri Garr only has a handful of lines in The Conversation, and when she’s done with her scene she never appears again, but she breaks my heart as Harry Caul’s secret girlfriend who wants more than he’s willing to give and so chooses herself. “Harry, I was so happy when you came over tonight,” she says, “when I heard you open up the door, my toes were dancing under the covers. But I don’t think I’m going to wait for you anymore.”
I meant for this to be posted last night. Better late than never.
