About this movie

Ryan O'Neal teams up with his daughter Tatum in this very bright, very warm, and very funny period film for which Tatum won an Oscar® in her first film role. Ryan O'Neal plays the smooth-talking con man Moses Pray, driving through depression-era Kansas with a carload of deluxe bibles, a gold tooth behind a convincing smile, and a list of newly widowed prospects for his line. Addie (Tatum O'Neal) is a cigarette-smoking, nine-year-old orphan who hooks up with Moses and manages to show the master con man a trick or two. Madeline Kahn gives a funny, neurotic performance as Trixie Delight, who goes along for the ride until Addie determines that Trixie might come between Addie and Moses — which, obviously, cannot happen.

I paid for my rental of 'Paper Moon' and I haven't watch it because a problem Google has with a license. After I reported the problem Google neither has fixed the problem neither refund me.

Watched this with my 9 year old...we're still cracking up! Ryan and Tatum O'Neal are an incredibly talented duo and this story is masterfully told. Family fun!

What makes this film so endearing is not just the characters supporting each other, from what i understand that is his daughter in real life, adorable! That little girl reminds me of some person i know.
