Paper Moon (1973)

Directed by Peter Bogdanovich

102 minutes/PG

It’s 1936 and orphaned Addie and con man Moses are quite the pair of scam artists, swindling their way through Kansas and Missouri selling Bibles to widows. Yes, Bibles. To widows. Father and daughter team Ryan and Tatum O’Neal star in this gem of a picture, for which 10-year-old Tatum nabbed an Oscar.
