This child won the Academy Award (best supporting actress) for her role in this film. She was the youngest person to win ANY Academy Award. Hard to believe that this movie is now 50 years old - a half-century old - and she still holds that record. Equally amazing, during the time the movie was being filmed she was 8 1/2 years old. If you factor in her age it is one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema, but she acts her role so effortlessly that it is easy to overlook it while we are watching the movie.
@@mauricericher3816 Yes, I just read that yesterday. He managed to live a very long life though. It is my understanding that he and Tatum had become estranged in later life.
She got so much credit for making a powdy face throughout the movie like any child can do. She should appreciate how lucky she was to have Ryan as her father.@@kerrynight3271
Daniel frost ikr the cold hard stare she gives him ant the delivery of the line...THEN GIT IT...WOAH...The other scene in the same setting where Ryan says I know a woman who looks like a bullfrog but that don't mean she's the damn things mother...color me...DEAD....🤣😂😂😂🤣✨️❤️
This was the scene that got her the Oscar. I heard that her own parents didn't attend. 😢. Also The Lady who played The Waitress would later play Corabeth Godsey on The Waltons.
The Bob She was incredible, but it was also her father’s finest performance so I think they were inspiring each other. Maybe a bit of competition too. Daddy had to act better than he ever acted before just in an attempt to keep up with his daughter.
@@artistjoh He was also great in love story, I definitely prefer his acting skills better on paper moon though their combination is brilliant and so natural, it will always be my favorite movie!
J J We should never forget Barry Lyndon as well (although there it was the directing that was the biggest star of the movie) and What’s Up Doc?, however, Paper Moon beats them all in terms of emotional communication between performers and audience. Love Story hasn’t aged well, is overly melodramatic, a bit unbelievable, and looks as dated as Peyton Place (only the music saves it) but Paper Moon is as fresh today as it has ever been.
@@artistjoh Haha maybe, I'm a woman so I had different views about love story ofcourse lol grew up with 4 sisters watching them, one gawking over Ryan lol but paper moon is something the men in my family enjoyed watching, but yup paper moon will always be my movie I can't say enough good things and always recommend it to people!
J J When Love Story came out, I saw it in a little country cinema. I saw it on Friday night with a girl crying on one shoulder, then saw it again on Saturday night with a different girl on the other shoulder. I wasn’t all that excited about the movie, but I loved what it did to girls :)
Wonderful! The tumbleweed and dust blowing in the street, the muted radio in the background and the Nehi soda that many of us remember. Fabulous scene!
This movie is so amazing. It's the early 1970's, but it quite literally looks like a film from the 1940's. It's so perfect. That's film-making magic at its best.
@@ajsmith5295 yes, but the film looks vintage 40's film. I don't get why that was so hard to comprehend in my original comment. Evidently people don't know their cinema eras.
Actually it's set in the 1930's. I remember being 10 years old when I went with my Mom and Dad. I loved that movie. Ryan O'Neal soooo handsome. I'm an O'Neal too, spelled differently.
***** That's the depression for ya. You had to pay for coffee and coney islands, but sugar and pickle relish were free. Using plenty of condiments could stretch a meager meal and give you a few more calories. No telling when you may eat again.
Thank you, Johnny. I was very close to my grandfather who actually lived through the Great Depression. I miss him every day! His recollections and insights were fundamental in my upbringing. I also would recommend the 1967 movie "Bonnie & Clyde" and the 1940 film "The Grapes Of Wrath" for more insights on daily life in the Depression era. That was as REAL as it gets!
I've watched Paper Moon here and there over the years, and every time it's better than I remembered. Usually, it's the opposite. I let my 6 y.o. daughter watch up to this scene with me the other day and to my shock she loved it as much as any Disney movie and is now begging to see the rest of it. I think the spunky, tough girl seemed familiar to her. May regret letting her watch that.
It's a fave memory of popcorn night with just me and my Mom. Mid 70's... Not sure where my brothers were. Mom and I laughed and often quoted this movie to each other.
It's amazing how well they made it look vintage circa 1940's. You completely forget it was made in the 70's. _The Elephant Man_ (1980) does the same thing.
The script is a gem coupled with a father/daughter dream team. Peter Bogdanovich directing. It’s just so good on so many levels, it’s unreal how good movies use to be. This was normal filmmaking back in the day. So so good
Peter Bogdanovich was a brilliant director. He made 3 magnificent films in the early 70s: Paper Moon, The Last Picture Show and What’s Up Doc? All three hold up incredibly well.
Michael Angelliotti ikr that line gets me going every time also when she starts yelling about her $200...omfg everyone in the place just stares at the 2 of them like WTF...??.TIMING IS KEY IN SCENES LIKE THIS ONE...PRICELESS
Watched this with my family at the drive-in in the town of Atco (southern, NJ) when it came out in '73. The place later spent years as a state auto inspection yard, and last I knew it was abandoned and overgrown.
What scene is not great in this Movie! Watched this with my Father @ least 22 times or more..........Neither one ever complained just enjoyed every moment. Was our #1 favorite.
Spihk heartbust!? Can you use Bozeman Hotmail Recipient's Zumo's brother's dad's bathroom doorway dad's brother's roomies Ghnavel feces to spihk Heartbust all all time mates internet friends for Ghnavel dude who automatically claim that Ghnavel Bozeman Hotmail Recipient is responsible for Ghnavel dude's half eaten Ghnavel meal!?
I love this movie. I remember my grandmother and I use to watch this when I was a child. I loved those times and miss them so much. I showed my children this movie coming up and they loved. It now o will show my grandchildren and laugh with them.❤❤❤❤ creating new memories ❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯
@@jdfields711 Hi, I think Angel knew that, it's quite well known. She was just pointing that out, because it underscores the humor of this scene! Mose keeps saying, " I ain't your pa." when he obviously is.
This captures the essence of fathering a tough daughter. In this case, Miss Tatum won the Academy Award and is the youngest ever winner. I have read the book the movie is based on ("Addie Pray") and it is good too. Quite a period piece. Not many great movies about the Great Depression. This is probably the big one.
John Province : so true!!! This movie is one of my favorites and has stayed as such over all these years. Yes, Tatum had difficulty filming this movie, but it was her first and she didn’t know anything about being a child actress at the time. Her performance in this film is so wonderful and deserving of her Oscar.
$200 in 1936 had the buying power of approximately $3500 in 2016. Smart kid! Moze had to give her a little more than a twenty bucks, a train ticket, a hot dog, a soda, and a telegraph. A classic scene from a classic movie.
Very cool film and they were both amazing the whole slew of actors in this film are so Tops! Hard to find a great film these days so I. Really love. The classics and I am praying no remakes
I remember first watching this movie when I was little girl. I giggled all the way through, I thought it was so funny and the acting is brilliant, so well directed.
Its my favourite scene in the whole film and what makes it crackle is they compete as father and daughter. It puts competition into their performances. She was brilliant, a natural and Ryan knows his character - the cheap con man and instinctive hustler, inside out. Always a brilliant actor one of the best films he ever did..... then What's Up Doc, then The Driver!..... at least for me! Versatile...? oh yeah!
She was so great back in the years when she was 10years old....Dont see much 10years old actrices these days becoming an Oscar...or is there??????? Tatum O'neal was special and she act so clear and real...
Ryan O Neil is known more for his car crash of a life, but I think this was his finest film, the acting is natural and him and Tatum are a perfect pair, they were made for the parts. Shame they couldn’t get a long in real life
This movie was brilliant! Little Tatum deserved that academy award.❤ Only thing, i always thought Ryan should have been nominated for best actor. His timing with his daughter was brilliant. I really think the academy totally snubbed him.
I have almost no doubt now. The Better off Dead director/writer was thirteen when Paper Moon came out. I was a paperboy in late 70s for a while (Oakland Tribune), 'collecting' sucked. Owing two dollars for home delivery in 1985 seems accurate. A dollar a week, including Sundays.
I always liked Ryan's performance in this. I believe he could have earned respect as a "serious" actor if he had a little more time to hone some skills before his career tanked.
Of course I have the Paper Moon video for quite a number of years. And I bet that I still watch it once or twice every year. For me the greatest human nature movie of all time. And they sure don't make em like this anymore. Such a shame.
I have been drawn to this scene since my mum died of cancer. She had been separated from my father for 20 years but he still managed to take advantage of the situation. It's an absolute masterpiece and was marketed as an adventure comedy. Just beneath surface is a narcissistic sycopath. The scene where he lectures her about scruples is also a classic as is the road car scene. It's like watching my childhood flash before my eyes. It helped me understand just what a total prick my father is.
You ought to read Tatum's autobiography, if you think he's bad in the movie you should learn what he was like in real life. Makes Moses look like an angel. Despite their sad history I will never stop loving this perfect film.
You are looking at this movie from the dark side of your lenses. I'm sorry your dad was a prick (mine was too) but this feel good movie is a testament to the goodness of humanity. I often wondered what happened to Addy Pray. Did she grow up and make a Bad News Bears movie. Did she show her tits to RICHARD BURTON in the gross out film CIRCLE OF TWO in 1980?? Gross, over the line. I understand why Ryan was pissed.

I was eleven when my dad took me to see this wonderful film. he could sense I had nostalgia for a time I apparently hadn’t lived in.

@@mauricericher3816 Yes, I just read that yesterday. He managed to live a very long life though. It is my understanding that he and Tatum had become estranged in later life.
And Tatum had the flu the whole time they were shooting.

This is my favorite scene in the entire movie.
3:59: "Then get it".....makes me laugh every time. Brilliantly delivered by Tatum.
Daniel frost ikr the cold hard stare she gives him ant the delivery of the line...THEN GIT IT...WOAH...The other scene in the same setting where Ryan says I know a woman who looks like a bullfrog but that don't mean she's the damn things mother...color me...DEAD....🤣😂😂😂🤣✨️❤️
YES INDEED.
This was the scene that got her the Oscar. I heard that her own parents didn't attend. 😢. Also The Lady who played The Waitress would later play Corabeth Godsey on The Waltons.
So many superb scenes in this movie it's hard to choose.
She was one of the greatest child actors I've ever seen.

Then GIT it.
The hopefulness on her face when she says, "It's possible..." She wanted so much to have a father...
This scene is especially amusing considering these two are father & daughter in real life. Ryan & Tatum O’Neal.
Love how her voice goes up an octave. My all-time favorite movie since I was a kid!!!!
This movie is so amazing. It's the early 1970's, but it quite literally looks like a film from the 1940's. It's so perfect. That's film-making magic at its best.

Did anyone notice how much sugar he puts in his coffee?

@@mikehurley7945 ...Wow, excellent insight.
Thank you, Johnny.
I was very close to my grandfather who actually lived through the Great Depression.
I miss him every day!
His recollections and insights were fundamental in my upbringing.
I also would recommend the 1967 movie "Bonnie & Clyde" and the 1940 film "The Grapes Of Wrath" for more insights on daily life in the Depression era.
That was as REAL as it gets!
as many times as i've seen this movie, I never noticed that.
I did notice the sugar thing. I still don't know why he does it.
My mom and I always laughed when he slammed the table - LMAO - RIP Mom - Miss you and love you!

I close with ya but my all time favorite other is "Casablanca"
This scene never gets old
Yes indeed.
R.I.P. Peter Bogdanovich. You'll be forever remembered!
I still can't believe he's gone...rip mr. Bogdonovich...😿💔💖❣️💖❣️
@@ernestinemaloy8680 He had a cameo in the movie "IT: Chapter 2" as Peter the director.
"I want my 200 dollars!" "Well I don't HAVE it". "Then.....GET IT!" One of the best scenes in this movie.
I always liked the part where Ryan says, "Her name ain't Precious !"
Just the way Tatum delivers that line is brilliant. Amazing performances for sure.
My favorite line from Tatum in this film.:))
Besides Danny from the shinning this is the best kid performance of all time
"I want my two hunnerd dollars!" "What's that?" (through a mouth full of ice cream..) Absolutely hilarious.
Exactly...what brilliance Ryan showed in that scene.
sunnydayzie 1 It’s pudding he’s eating.
A Coney Island is a hot dog..not ice cream..Sunnydazie.
He tells her to eat her Coney Island 6 times in this scene. O'Neal is awesome in this scene.
EAT YOUR CONEY ISLAND!
Now that's a great line to put on a T-shirt!😂❤
This movie was pure gold. I was just a kid grade school age when it came out saw it in the drive-in
Yes Indeed
Tatum was amazing in this and deserves all the accolades but one must not forget how great Ryan was in the role.
Yes Indeed
Indeed! A brilliant classic! I never get tired of it !

I like how they are both pissed, staring each other down and she says "I don't know", when asked if she's gonna have dessert.
This was a wonderful film. I would love to see it again.
This is such a great movie! Tatum certainly deserved that Oscar.
Yes indeed.
I WANT MY MONEY.
I LOVE this move! When watching I try not to think about the real life drama involving Ryan O'Neal and Tatum and his son.

She and dad made a great grifter team!
simply put one of the best movies ever
GOOD MOVIE RIP RYAN O'NEAL
That was a lot of sugar
It was free.😅
Gotta get as many free calories as possible when you're poor.
Love this film so much:):)
Thenn git it. One of the best lines ever uttered by a child actor
One of my favorites from Tatum in this film.
ive always liked this movie seen it 12x
Best scene, best movie, enough said!
Ryan O Neil is known more for his car crash of a life, but I think this was his finest film, the acting is natural and him and Tatum are a perfect pair, they were made for the parts. Shame they couldn’t get a long in real life
They both had lots of issues.
They weren’t acting
Amazing! One of THE best, most romantic father daughter scenes in American, world history. Tatum O'Neil is .. at her best.
This movie was brilliant! Little Tatum deserved that academy award.❤ Only thing, i always thought Ryan should have been nominated for best actor. His timing with his daughter was brilliant. I really think the academy totally snubbed him.
THEN GET IT!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
oooh wee, She a bad ass!!
ALEXA NICOLE JOEL (Bang!)
I wonder if this is where they got the inspiration for the paperboy in Better Off Dead? Twoooo dollaaaars!
Definitely!
I always assumed Better Off Dead was paying homage to this movie.
I have almost no doubt now. The Better off Dead director/writer was thirteen when Paper Moon came out. I was a paperboy in late 70s for a while (Oakland Tribune), 'collecting' sucked. Owing two dollars for home delivery in 1985 seems accurate. A dollar a week, including Sundays.
Love this scene.
Man, I love this movie. They couldn't make it today, for they wouldn't know how. Hollywood and the film industry, are done.
Fabulous!
That's Addie, my girl.
So precocious...
1 of my top 20 films
Ryan was very good in this movie
Tatum earned that Oscar!
loved the movie, like how it was filmed in the Midwest KS. and MO. although the book's location was in the South
I don't have it! Then get it! Classic
Statimtek i favorite lines in the whole movie
Natasha Green Mine too, although I like Trixie's speech to Addie when Addie won't get in the car
The best movie ❤️
This scene is so good
Remember Ryan on an episode of Leave it to Beaver? Quite a departure from this.
I love this movie!😍
I hope he enjoyed the coffee with his sugar . Great movie; one of my favourites.
My favourite "Addie" Line "I want my Two Hundred dollars" Cracks me up everytime i watch this movie. :))
I love this movie
A fave scene in our family!
Great scene. She kept that pimp hand STRONG! “Then I want my MONEY!”
GREAT ENJOYABLE MOVIE. ONE OF MY TOP 5 MOVIES OFF ALLLL TIME:)
I always liked Ryan's performance in this. I believe he could have earned respect as a "serious" actor if he had a little more time to hone some skills before his career tanked.
That's his own fault. He was a hot tempered, violent person who alienated everybody through abuse and mistreatment, even his kids.
He was his own worst enemy. Too bad, he did have talent but his pettiness destroyed him.
That's the actor that is famous for "Oh, man, oh, god, oh, man, oh god"
R.I.P. Ryan O'Neil.
I saw this at drive in, dang Im old.
WOW SHE SAID, THEN GET IT, WITH CONVICTION!!!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT ACTRESS, SECOND TO NONE 💯%❗️
Of course I have the Paper Moon video for quite a number of years. And I bet that I still watch it once or twice every year. For me the greatest human nature movie of all time. And they sure don't make em like this anymore. Such a shame.
Agreed
“Steamboat round the bend” released September 6 1935.
I have been drawn to this scene since my mum died of cancer. She had been separated from my father for 20 years but he still managed to take advantage of the situation.
