Paper Moon

1973 102 min PG Comedy · Crime · Drama

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.

Directed by Peter Bogdanovich · Written by Alvin Sargent

Starring Tatum O'Neal, Ryan O'Neal, Madeline Kahn, John Hillerman, Jessie Lee Fulton, Noble Willingham
