In 'Paper Moon' (1973), a con man named Moses Pray (played by Ryan O'Neal) finds himself saddled with a young girl named Addie Loggins (played by Tatum O'Neal) during the Great Depression. Together, they traverse the Midwest, pulling off money-making schemes and forming an unlikely partnership.
Despite an Oscar-winning performance by Tatum O'Neal, its fame has faded over time but it remains a gem from the 70s.
A Depression-era grifter and a maybe-daughter work small-town scams in luminous black and white. The con is the only language they have for love.
