He barely maintains contact with people other than his long-time housekeeper Erminia, but even that contact is characterized by detachment. One day, the rich but vulgar Countess Brumonti (her husband is a <a href="/wiki/Right-wing_politics" title="Right-wing politics">right-wing</a> industrialist who does not appear) rings his doorbell. She manages to talk the Professor into renting the empty apartment on the upper floor of the palazzo to her, her much younger lover Konrad, her teenage daughter Lietta, and Lietta's fiancé Stefano, a conservative entrepreneur. </p><p>The Professor is calmly disturbed by the pushy new tenants who immediately have their apartment rebuilt, examine the Professor's apartment for clues to his past, throw parties, and have amorous experiences with each other (including Konrad with the Countess's daughter). But, in addition to the annoyance, the Professor feels animated by the young people; he is particularly drawn to the provocative, opaque Konrad. Konrad's past as a <a href="/wiki/Gigolo" title="Gigolo">gigolo</a> and as a leftist radical in the <a href="/wiki/Protests_of_1968" title="Protests of 1968">protests of 1968</a> who then slipped into drugs, is alluded to—a sharp contrast to the Professor's former completely different life that had been shaped by an upper-class upbringing and the experiences of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>. Occasionally, the Professor sinks into memories of his former wife and mother. The Professor and Konrad have a common interest in art and become closer friends after Konrad is beaten up one night because of gambling debts and the Professor finds him and provides medical care. </p><p>The Professor invites the Countess, Konrad, Lietta, and Stefano to a dinner, at which he calls them his "new family" and at the same time expresses satisfaction that they have brought liveliness to his measured life with their move-in. However, a dispute arises among his guests about Konrad's dubious past and his relationship with the Countess. Although she wants to separate from her husband, she does not want to marry Konrad, who is significantly younger and is socially beneath her. Konrad then reveals that he spied on her husband for supporting far-right groups. This was not for business, but for fear of being arrested in <a href="/wiki/Francoist_Spain" title="Francoist Spain">Spain's Franco dictatorship</a>. The Countess and Stefano then distance themselves from Konrad. The Professor rejects their reactionary views but does not intervene to support Konrad. </p><p>Konrad goes upstairs after saying goodbye to his new "father" by the letter he signed "Your son", suggesting that they would probably not see each other alive again. Immediately afterwards there is a gas explosion in which Konrad is killed. The Professor blames himself for Konrad's death and falls seriously ill. </p><p>The last scene shows him on his deathbed when the countess visits him with Lietta. The Countess tells the Professor that Konrad committed suicide—in order to hurt everyone who loved him—but that Konrad was too young to realize that, in time, everyone would forget him. After the Countess leaves the room, Lietta tells the Professor "Don't believe her. He didn't kill himself; they murdered him." Lietta leaves; the Professor is now alone. Becoming overcome with grief or despair, he gazes upward and clasps his hands as though in prayer to God or to something he might long to believe in. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Conversation_Piece_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Burt_Lancaster" title="Burt Lancaster">Burt Lancaster</a> as The Professor</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Helmut_Berger" title="Helmut Berger">Helmut Berger</a> as Konrad Hübel</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Silvana_Mangano" title="Silvana Mangano">Silvana Mangano</a> as Marchesa Bianca Brumonti</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Claudia_Marsani&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Claudia Marsani (page does not exist)">Claudia Marsani</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Marsani" class="extiw" title="it:Claudia Marsani">it</a>]</span> as Lietta Brumonti</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Stefano_Patrizi_(actor)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Stefano Patrizi (actor) (page does not exist)">Stefano Patrizi</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefano_Patrizi" class="extiw" title="it:Stefano Patrizi">it</a>]</span> as Stefano, Lietta's fiancé</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Romolo_Valli" title="Romolo Valli">Romolo Valli</a> as Michelli, Professor's lawyer</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Elvira_Cortese&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Elvira Cortese (page does not exist)">Elvira Cortese</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira_Cortese" class="extiw" title="it:Elvira Cortese">it</a>]</span> as Erminia, Professor's housekeeper</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Philippe_Hersent" title="Philippe Hersent">Philippe Hersent</a> as Domenico, the porter</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Guy_Tr%C3%A9jan" title="Guy Tréjan">Guy Tréjan</a> as first art dealer</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jean-Pierre_Zola&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Jean-Pierre Zola (page does not exist)">Jean-Pierre Zola</a><span class="noprint" style="font-size:85%; font-style: normal;"> [<a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Pierre_Zola" class="extiw" title="fr:Jean-Pierre Zola">fr</a>]</span> as Blanchard, second art dealer</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Umberto_Raho" title="Umberto Raho">Umberto Raho</a> as first Police inspector</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Enzo_Fiermonte" title="Enzo Fiermonte">Enzo Fiermonte</a> as second Police inspector</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dominique_Sanda" title="Dominique Sanda">Dominique Sanda</a> as the Professor's mother (uncredited)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Claudia_Cardinale" title="Claudia Cardinale">Claudia Cardinale</a> as the Professor's wife (uncredited)</li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Conversation_Piece_(film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The film features an international cast including the American actor <a href="/wiki/Burt_Lancaster" title="Burt Lancaster">Burt Lancaster</a>, the Austrian <a href="/wiki/Helmut_Berger" title="Helmut Berger">Helmut Berger</a>, the Italians <a href="/wiki/Silvana_Mangano" title="Silvana Mangano">Silvana Mangano</a> and <a href="/wiki/Claudia_Cardinale" title="Claudia Cardinale">Claudia Cardinale</a> (in a very short role as the professor's wife), and the French actress <a href="/wiki/Dominique_Sanda" title="Dominique Sanda">Dominique Sanda</a> in a cameo as the professor's mother.

Due to a stroke suffered a couple of years earlier, it became necessary for the filming to be as simple as possible, which meant that everything was a shot in a set constructed entirely in the studio.... The acting is generally very good, especially the lead performance of Burt Lancaster, whose health and vitality Visconti craved during the shoot, while the costumes and sets are immaculately designed and the cinematography, despite the indoors setting, is often outstanding. Few, if any, would regard this as his masterpiece, but <i>Conversation Piece</i> is still a fascinating slice of cinema from a master filmmaker, and though minor by his standards, I’d much rather watch it than anything currently showing at my local multiplex."<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A reviewer for <i><a href="/wiki/Time_Out_London" class="mw-redirect" title="Time Out London">Time Out London</a></i> stated: "If the <i>dolce vita</i>-style intrusion is given distinctly <a href="/wiki/Jacqueline_Susann" title="Jacqueline Susann">Jacqueline Susann</a>-like overtones by the rather dissociated dialogue in the English language version, <i>Conversation Piece</i> nevertheless comes across as a visually rich and resonant mystery, far more fluid and sympathetic than <i><a href="/wiki/Death_in_Venice_(film)" title="Death in Venice (film)">Death in Venice</a></i>."<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A reviewer for <i><a href="/wiki/Variety_(magazine)" title="Variety (magazine)">Variety</a></i> wrote: "<i>Conversation Piece</i> eschews the usually operatic, museum-like pix of Luchino Visconti for a touching tale of the generation gap and the loss of life-contact of an intellectual."<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>James Evans of <i><a href="/wiki/Starburst_(magazine)" title="Starburst (magazine)">Starburst</a></i> gave the movie eight points out of ten, noting: "As he approached the twilight of his career, Burt Lancaster had made the switch from youthful action star to subtle character acting and that’s in clear evidence here in his sad-eyed, melancholic performance.
