Paper Moon
As P.T. Barnum put it, "There's a sucker born every minute."
A Depression-era grifter discovers his new silent partner is either genius or an orphan—history may never tell. They travel the backroads selling Bibles to the gullible while debating paternity like an ancient parlor game. One wonders if the con was on the marks or the audience.
