(31) Paper Moon

Directed by Peter Bogdanovich
Rated PG
1973
102 minutes

*****

Peter Bogdanovich's Depression-era story of a con man who begins an unlikely partnership with a fast-talking 9-year old girl on a trip to Missouri was one of those rare occasions where both brilliant filmmaking and a crowd pleasing story came together to form one of the best comedies of the 1970s. Tatum O'Neal is absolutely perfect as Addie, and her Oscar was well-deserved. Her father, Ryan O'Neal, and Madeline Kahn are both good as well.
