Paper Moon (DVD)

Paper Moon (1973) starring Ryan O'Neal, Tatum O'Neal, Madeline Kahn, John Hillerman. Due to circumstances which would not be allowed today, a 1930s con man (Ryan O'Neal) ends up traveling through Kansas and Missouri with a young orphan named Addie (Tatum O'Neal) who is not his actual daughter (although the actress portraying her is O'Neal's actual daughter). He tries to get rid of her as soon as possible, but she proves to be a better con artist than he is. When they are arrested for bootlegging, it is Addie who engineers their escape. Tatum O'Neal, 10, won a Supporting Actress Oscar for this, her screen debut. The subtitles are OK. Grade: A
