Anecdotes
Tatum O'Neal was ten years old when she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in this movie, making her the youngest person ever to win an Oscar in a competitive category. As of 2023, she still holds this record. She was four years younger than her rival nominee, Linda Blair, in L'exorciste (1973).

Gaffes
Fibber McGee's famous "closet gag", so anticipated by Addie while listening to the radio, didn't start until 1940.

No Black-and-White Film Has Been This Colorful!

Moses Pray, a small town con artist, is unexpectedly burdened with the task of transporting Addie Loggins, a 9-year-old orphan, to her relatives in Missouri. His efforts to cheat the clever child out of money backfires, and he's coerced into taking her on as a partner. Together, the father-daughter duo swindle their way through 1930s Kansas.

I have never seen a black-and-white film that was more colorful and vivid than "Paper Moon". This film was curiously nostalgic, somehow driving me to reminisce back to a time where I wasn't even born! Only the greatest filmmakers are able to capture a moment and make that moment timeless. That's what separates movies from cinematic masterpieces. "Paper Moon" had a plethora of those timeless moments.

The casting of real-life father and daughter, Ryan and Tatum O'Neal, was right on the ball. Tatum O'Neal's performance as Addie Loggins was exceptional. As child actors go, she remains one of Hollywood's most cherished nearly fifty years later. With Madeline Khan's uproarious performance thrown in, this cast is irrefutably priceless.

Clever, charming, and exhilarating are but a few words to describe the picture.
