Paper Moon
One sheet poster is for the 1973 film
Paper Moon, a classic road comedy-drama directed by Peter Bogdanovich.
Based on a Novel
The film is not based on a true story, but is an adaptation of the 1971 novel Addie Pray by Joe David Brown. While the characters and their specific adventures are fictional, the film's depiction of the Great Depression-era Midwest in 1936 is noted for its historical authenticity. Some of the "grifts" shown, such as selling gold-embossed Bibles to grieving widows, were based on real scams used by 1930s con artists.
Key Facts
Stars: It features real-life father and daughter Ryan and Tatum O'Neal as the protagonists, Moses "Moze" Pray and Addie Loggins.
Record-Breaking Performance: At age 10, Tatum O'Neal won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role, making her the youngest competitive winner in Oscar history—a record that still stands today.
Cinematography: Despite being released in the 1970s, the film was shot entirely in black-and-white to capture a 1930s period feel.
Title Change: The film was originally going to be titled Addie Pray, but Bogdanovich changed it to Paper Moon after hearing the 1933 song "It's Only a Paper Moon".
