Conversation Piece - Jack Storer

this film was a comedy social realist piece and was very experimental.

this film was unique in many ways, mainly the way the piece of music was used for comedy value. "This unique musical-of-sorts matches every single syllable of dialogue to every single note from jazz cornetist Rex Stewart's 1966 improvised recording 'Conversation Piece'."

the structure of the film was very simple linear story, which saved time by not having long shots to introduce the characters. we saw enough in the film to know the characters quite well as it used very stereotypical characters.

also the use of famous faces helped us relate to the genre as we have seen both John Henshaw and Celia Imrie in other comedies/social realist films.

the themes and issues are very straight forward. its an argument between an old married couple.

she uses every tactic possible to get him to admit his fault and admit he chipped her vase.
