A forgotten classic - Paper Moon review by JW
Beautifully filmed in black and white, Paper Moon tells the story of an unlikely pairing of an orphaned girl with a down-at-heel con man. The two bicker their way across the stark landscape of Depression-era middle America while working scams on unsuspecting locals. Ryan O'Neil and his daughter Tatum have an infectious on-screen character that pulls you in to their often hilarious world. Tatum won an Oscar for her role in this film and is still the youngest person every to win Best Supporting Actor. The cast of supporting characters, especially Madeline Khan as Miss Trixie Delight, bring colour to each scene. You can't help but sing along with the soundtrack. If you like movies set in the 1930s, or quirky comedies such as 'O Brother Where Art Thou', give Paper Moon a try.
