Paper Moon 1973 123movies

Watch: Paper Moon 1973 123movies, Full Movie Online – Set in the midwest of the depression-era, Paper Moon follows Moses Pray and Addie Loggins – one a con artist, the other, the young girl who’s the daughter of a woman who’s just passed away. The pair meet when ‘Mose’ stops by the sparsely-attended funeral in Kansas of a woman he once knew (we never see her). In attendance, is the woman’s young daughter, Addie, whom Moses agrees to transport to St Joseph, Mo — for money, of course. Mose – an inveterate hustler, has been working ostensibly as a representative of the Kansas Bible Company – who picks his marks from the obits, and tries to sell – at exorbitant prices – the decedents’ spouse the custom bible they’d previously ordered. Wise beyond her years, Addie picks up on Moses’ grift, and very quickly, she and Mose become a team. Traveling from town to town, making money in every dishonest way imaginable, and looking for the ultimate score. The colorful characters they meet along the way make the film all the more interesting. One in particular – Miss Trixie Delight – an exotic dancer who Mose rescues from a traveling carnival and the girl who works for her, poor, suffering Imogene. Addie sees Miss Delight as a potential rival, and she concocts a plan with Imogene to free themselves of her. The film’s peppered with regional dialogue, one of the most memorable line’s uttered when Mose is forced to wrestle a backwoodsman in order to trade his new car for the hillbilly’s battered old truck; “make him say calf-rope, Leroy!” one of the observers calls out. Paper Moon, directed by Peter Bogdonovich is adapted from the novel, “Addie Pray” (1971) by Joe David Brown..
Plot: During the Great Depression, a con man finds himself saddled with a young girl—who may or may not be his daughter—and the two forge an unlikely partnership.

Reviews:

Utterly delightful.

Father and daughter Ryan and Tatum O’Neal, under Peter Bogdanovich’s superlative direction, produce one of the most affectingly warm and cunningly sly movies of the 1970s. Set in depression era America and beautifully photographed in pristine monochrome by Laszlo Kovacs, it’s a period piece that refuses to get old, such is the deft imagery and sharpness of the screenplay.

Story essentially comes down to conman Moses Pray (R. O’Neal) hooking up with orphan Addie Loggins (T. O’Neal), who may or may not be his actual daughter. Addie proves to be a precocious live wire, not easily fooled and she smokes, cusses and is more than capable of pulling a con herself. After initial indignation, Moses comes to court Addie’s strengths and they form a dynamic partnership as they travel through Kansas, pulling cons left right and centre and piling the money up. But can it last forever?

The chemistry between father and daughter is obviously set in stone, with young Tatum an absolute revelation. The screenplay gives them both ample opportunities to enchant and amuse the viewer as they get up to all sorts of tricks and scrapes. Yet there’s always that feeling hanging in the dusty air that something has to give, that we are treading firmly in bittersweet territory, the crafty couple having earned our complete investment in their well being keeping us concerned even as we laugh out loud.

Delightful. 9/10

***Ryan O’Neal and his kid daughter Tatum in 1930’s Kansas***

In Depression-era Kansas, a conman who sells Bibles (Ryan O’Neal) is coerced into allowing a precocious 9 year-old (Tatum O’Neal) to ride with him as they travel to St. Joseph, Missouri, where her aunt lives. Madeline Kahn plays a carnival “dancer” with P.J. Johnson as her teen aide. John Hillerman appears in a double role as a bootlegger and police officer.

“Paper Moon” (1973) is a B&W drama with amusing moments. Imagine “The Highwaymen” (2019) and “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967), but with a lighter tone and much less severe criminality, mixed with father/quasi-daughter antics. The movie’s entertaining throughout, but the ending’s too low-key for my tastes (How about some good ol’ fashioned emotion?). But that’s a minor quibble.

The film runs 1 hour, 42 minutes and was shot in Kansas, Nebraska & Missouri (with one part done in Pasadena).

GRADE: B

A Perfect Film
If Hayes, Kansas, and thereabouts…were the perfect locations for Peter Bogdonavich’s classic “Paper Moon,” then the film itself is the perfect realization of those real places forever etched in celluloid.

Few times will you ever see a film so visually wedded to its locale and cinematic style. In a typical film, you might picture the presentation of the movie working in a number of ways, but in “Paper Moon,” it will forever seem like it could only have been done this way…on location, in black and white, and photographed like moving Andrew Wyeth shots of Americana.

Tatum O’ Neal is terrific and justifiably won an Oscar for her part, but Ryan is wonderful as well….funny in that exasperated manner that Bud Abbott is, and the quality goes right down to the smallest bit player in the cast.

A perfect film would have great acting, great visuals and utilization of music, a superb story and lines that have you repeating them for years. Welcome to “Paper Moon.” I can’t recommend this blend of comedy and drama enough. A modern classic.

I know a woman who looks like a bullfrog but that don’t mean she’s the damn thing’s mother.
