Editorial Reviews

The year is 1936. Orphaned Addie Loggins (Tatum O'Neal, in her film debut) is left in the care of unethical travelling Bible salesman Moses Pray (Ryan O'Neal, Tatum's dad), who may or may not be her father. En route to Addie's relatives, Moses learns that the 9-year-old is quite a handful: she smokes, cusses, and is almost as devious and manipulative as he is. They join forces as swindlers, working together so well that Addie is averse to breaking up the team -- which is one reason that she sabotages the romance between Moses and good-time gal Trixie Delight (Madeline Kahn). Later, while attempting to square a $200 debt that Addie claims he owes her, Moses runs afoul of of a bootlegger (John Hillerman) and is nearly beaten to death by the criminal's twin-brother sheriff. Painfully pulling himself together, Moses gets Addie to her relatives, whereupon she adamantly refuses to leave his side. Photographed in black-and-white by Laszlo Kovacs, the film was made largely on location in Kansas and Missouri (an experience colorfully recalled by director Peter Bogdanovich in his 1972 book of essays Pieces of Time). 9-year-old Tatum O'Neal won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, beating out costar Kahn. Paper Moon later became a short-lived TV series, starring Ryan O'Neal lookalike Christopher Connelly and future Oscar winner Jodie Foster. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

June 22, 2007: When I first saw, "Paper Moon,"to be honest with you,I didn't understand the whole story to it.All I knew was that it had a bit of a mystery to it,but also adventure.Ryan O'Neal and daughter,Tatum make such a great father/daughter team.It's so sad that their relationship,in real life,didn't turn out for the best.It may not sound like a lot,but Tatum is basically a spliting image of Ryan,in "Paper Moon."They look so much alike!

February 08, 2002: This is one of the best films ever made. Even though it does not follow the book, ''Addie Pray'' by Joe David Brown, on which it is based, it is still a great movie. Tatum O'Neil is excellent as Addie and this is, perhaps, Madeline Kahn's finest effort. The choice to film it in black and white adds to the historical richness of the story and suits the mood of the time. I highly recommend this film to anyone who loves great story telling.
