Paper Moon

Ryan O’Neal (What’s Up Doc?) stars as Con man Moses Pray, hawking Bibles specially engraved to the survivors of the recently deceased. Enter the adorable and troublesome little girl. Tatum O’Neal (Bad News Bears) plays the nine year old cigarette smoking orphan whose mother was a friend of Moses.
The two hit the road, and soon Moses realizes he has quite a little huckster for a sidekick. The adventures are truly grand, and this is a terribly well written script. The moments of tension are perfect, the chemistry of Tatum and Ryan (Real life Father and daughter) is awesome, and the dialogue is sharp, and well crafted for the 20’s era in which it takes place. 

Not much to say about this one, but it’s got a great heart and a great soul, and really brings the lead when it comes to character and being entertaining. 2.
