I loved coming across this scene, I was the little boy at the bottom right of the screen. All of the other girls in the scene were my sisters and two brother riding the buggy in the background. This is one of my first memories in life and was pretty cool.
Part of the humor in the latter scene has got to go to the actress that played Edna. The quickness with which she replied to Addie, "Twenty-four dollars, I'll get my purse!" She didn't even have to think about it. She could have easily played it as reluctant or hesitant, but she knew exactly how to read that line.
Addy was so savvy and observant. She won’t allow Moze to take advantage of the poor weary widow and rightfully so but when she sees the next widow is setup for life and has plenty of luxurious material items such as jewelry she pounces.
No fiction movie has ever captured the faces of the people you see stare back at you from thirties photographs with both the accuracy and poignancy of the actors in Paper Moon. Not Bound for Glory, definitely not Chinatown, certainly not The Sting, and least of all Grapes of Wrath. Ford’s Hollywoodized novel adaptation is filled with great magnificent faces (Fonda, Darwell, Carradine) as well. But they are the faces of actors. Every person who opens their front door to find Ryan O’Neal’s bible salesman’s insincere smile on their front porch seems like a true humanity representative of the time. With the lawman lover of the Widow Bates (Ed Reed) “Hold on one damn minute,” delivering in one scene ending line, one of the most heartbreaking moments ever concealed inside a comedy, “If it’ll make that woman happy, I’ll buy it.” Talk about ’a piece of time.’ thenewbev.com/tarantinos-reviews/peter-bogdanovich/
“Paper Moon” is one of my all-time favourite movies and, for some strange reason, I haven’t seen it televised in the UK for at least 10 years so it was great coming across this clip. Tatum O’Neal gave a marvellous performance for a 10 year old and her dad Ryan O’Neal was also excellent playing a conman. Sadly he died just a few days ago aged 81 and I am sure his daughter must be terribly upset. Anyway, I would love to see this movie televised again.
$24 back then is a few hundred dollars today. Addie quickly sized up the house's deluxe furnishings and owner's jewelry and knew she was good for it. Just as she'd taken spontaneous pity on the struggling widow with all those kids to feed. It all evens out, even in grift.
Mrs Edna Huff's $29 payment for the deluxe Bible would have been worth about $550 (in 2021)! That's quite a deluxe Bible! BTW, in 1935 $200 would have been worth about $3800 (in 2021).
@@borbetomagus That's not really how it works. $30 during the era in which this film is set is roughly $485 in today's era, but doesn't mean that a deluxe bible today would cost that much. A deluxe bible in 2021 would be $50 tops.

It’s interesting how many movies in the seventies were about the 20’s and the 30’s. I figure that there was a sense of nostalgia about those decades back in the seventies. It’s the equivalent of the 70’s and 80’s today. Making those movies wasn’t too difficult back then because many of the cars and signs were still available and older adults remembered those decades well.
Afternoon, ma'am. Mr. O'Neal at home? Mr. O'Neal is dead. Two days ago. Really? I'm so sorry. I was talking to him less then a month ago. He ordered this bible.
Just to give everyone a little Idea of how much money was worth in 1936, which is the time period this movie is set in: the Rich Woman was fine with Giving them $24, plus another $5 just to her showing up. $5 in 1936 is the Equivalent to $106.59 today (As of 2021 i think the Inflation Calculator said) so they took her for around $500 Dollars in Todays money. NOT a Bad Scam, if you can pull it off.
RIP Ryan O'Neal (April 20, 1941 - December 8, 2023), aged 82
You will be remembered as a legend.
There's a funny unsold pilot called 1775 an 80s or 90s version of the revolutionary war I thought it was funny

really?! that's incredible!
Chuck, I remember when you told us about that in school. I told everyone I went to school with a "movie star!"
😂😂you made me watch the clip again just to get a good look of you
Congratulations my Dude. you're in a FANTASTIC movie lol
You are part of a classic film. How wonderful a memory for you!
I could watch this movie 100 times a day. BRILLIANT FILM!!!
It would be impossible in a 24 hr period.

I agree. It's brilliant.
This is one of the classic films I save for every 5 years ❤❤❤❤❤

You didn’t think we saw that?
@joeconcrete5067 Why not just let people enjoy talking about the movie? Nobody's belittling your intelligence, don't be so sensitive.
@@mE-zx7ptHe's clearly unhappy with his life, happy people don't seek to bring others down for no readon
She also was crafty and took his last name adopting herself as his daughter 😂
Great scene from a brilliant movie. Tatum was fantastic but Ryan was really, really great too.
Kahn was great!!!!
What great casting in this movie...every part is just perfect.

@@mrtony80Yeah lots of other things to take into account, like the cost of labor, economy of scale, manufacturing advancements...
$4.00 could buy lot of food $20.00 items of clothing coat shoe's maybe
what a great film paper moon is watched it so many times wonderful
One of best Iconic movies of all time
She is such a good little actress.
What a great movie this is! Great director and great cast!
This scene had to have won Tatum the Oscar. Being a girl who couldn't let Moze cheat a poor widow with six kids to provide for. 0:01
Peter Bogdanovich thought the subsequent, 2 minute long take (in the car where they are arguing) won Tatum O'Neal the Oscar.

Great movie . My mom could relate , time was when she was a child
I saw this movie with my Mom when I was a kid....good memory.
The cinematography is so good, I thought this was legitimately filmed in the 1930s for years
Making it in b/w also made it so realistic for that time period.
One of my most favorite movies I have ever seen.

Next scene
*Glares at Addy* as she remains in the car
A classic film.
last two year i watched like 300 movies. One of the best. Oscar is not enuff for that girl.

Damn 24 bucks for a bible in the 30's??
1:35 Ryan O’Neal looks like he’s going to knock her block off even in a film.
"Wrassle ya for it."
The movie made me laugh
AND, they got an extra five for just going to her door!
24.00 would be around 350.00 today...that must have been SOME Bible!
Ryan O'Neal..REQVESCAT IN PACE!
into doing nothing - I hope that's not - doing nothing
His best movie overated on anything else

Not AI
László Kovács' gorgeous, deep- focus monochrome cinematography
@hamsterdiving7593 A joke .
Shame on privileged
Tatum Oneal was absolutely precious and beautiful when she was a child. She is still beautiful and Tatum is a brilliant actress!! I love Tatum Oneal
