The year is 1936. Orphaned Addie Loggins (Tatum O'Neal, in her film debut) is left in the care of unethical traveling Bible salesman Moses Pray (Ryan O'Neal, Tatum's dad), who may or may not be her father. En route to Addie's relatives, Moses learns that the 9-year-old is quite a handful: she smokes, cusses, and is almost as devious and manipulative as he is. They join forces as swindlers, working together so well that Addie is averse to breaking up the team — which is one reason that she sabotages the romance between Moses and good-time gal Trixie Delight (Madeline Kahn). Later, while attempting to square a $200 debt that Addie claims he owes her, Moses runs afoul of of a bootlegger (John Hillerman) and is nearly beaten to death by the criminal's twin-brother sheriff. Painfully pulling himself together, Moses gets Addie to her relatives, whereupon she adamantly refuses to leave his side. Photographed in black-and-white by Laszlo Kovacs, the film was made largely on location in Kansas and Missouri (an experience colorfully recalled by director Peter Bogdanovich in his 1972 book of essays Pieces of Time). 9-year-old Tatum O'Neal won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, beating out costar Kahn. Paper Moon later became a short-lived TV series, starring Ryan O'Neal lookalike Christopher Connelly and future Oscar winner Jodie Foster.

Paper Moon Film Synopsis

A bible salesman finds himself saddled with a young girl who may or may not be his daughter, and the two forge an unlikely partnership as a money-making con team in Depression-era Kansas.

Italiano
Nel Kansas degli anni '30 un venditore ambulante di bibbie si mette in società con una bambina orfanella di nove anni. Gli affari prosperano. Fino a quando faranno i vagabondi? Scritta benissimo e diretta con garbo, è una commedia “sulla strada” che fece epoca. La piccola Tatum ruba il film al padre. Fu premiata con un Oscar. Bogdanovich conferma il suo amore per il vecchio cinema americano. Furono nominati agli Oscar Alvin Sargent per la sceneggiatura (tratta da un romanzo di Joe David Brown) e M. Kahn (1942-1999) come attrice non protagonista. Diede origine a una serie TV.

svenska
Efter moderns död får den föräldralösa flickan Addie följa med Moses i hans bil till moster Billie som bor i en liten stad i en annan stat. Moses är bibelförsäljare och Addie genomskådar hans lite skumma försäljningsmetoder. Hon hjälper honom finurligt, men begär hälften av vinsten. Allt går dem väl i händer tills de åker fast för spritlangning.

Pусский
Авантюрный тандем случайных попутчиков колесит по маленьким городкам Канзаса во времена Великой Депрессии и промышляет мелкими, почти невинными махинациями, чтобы хоть как-то заработать на хлеб. Он — мошенник-неудачник по имени Мозэс, продающий Библии одиноким вдовам, поблескивая фальшивым золотым зубом. Она — девятилетняя девочка-сирота с недюжинной склонностью к авантюрам и практически не расстающаяся с сигаретой.

Deutsch
Moses Pray ist ein Hochstapler, der während der Wirtschaftsflaute mit einer Wagenladung Luxus-Bibeln durch Kansas fährt – mit einem Goldzahn hinter dem überzeugenden Lächeln und einer Liste frisch gebackener Witwen, von deren Vermögen er sich einen Anteil ausrechnet. Addie ist ein Zigaretten rauchendes neunjähriges Waisenkind, das sich Moses anschließt und es fertig bringt, selbst dem Meister-Betrüger noch Tricks zu zeigen. Madeline Kahn überzeugt mit einer lustigen, neurotischen Darstellung als Trixie Delight, die so lange mit auf Tour geht, bis Addie feststellt, dass Trixie sich zwischen Addie und Moses drängt – was offensichtlich nicht passieren darf ...

Καθοδόν με το αμάξι του για τους πλησιέστερους συγγενείς που θα μπορούσαν να την αναλάβουν, ο Μόουζες αντιλαμβάνεται ότι η εννιάχρονη πανέξυπνη κοπέλα μπορεί να του είναι πολύ χρήσιμη.

Kansas, dans les années 30, Moses Pray, escroc à la petite semaine, assiste à l’enterrement d’une ex-maîtresse et accepte d’emmener sa prétendue fille de 9 ans, Addie, chez une tante. Pendant leur trajet, leurs rapports sont tendus. L’orpheline est persuadée que celui-ci est son père, en raison de la ressemblance de leur menton mais Moses refuse d’endosser ce rôle. Étonnamment mûre pour son âge, la petite Addie s’avère être une coéquipière très efficace : c’est le début de leur épopée.

A kis Addie édesanyja temetésén találkozik a legkülönfélébb trükköket és praktikákat alkalmazó bibliaárussal, Moses Prayjel, akit apjának hisz. Mosesnak csak az lenne a feladata, hogy a kislányt az egyik nagynénjéhez vigye, de legnagyobb bánatára sehogy sem tud megszabadulni a morcos gyerektől. Kezdeti ellenérzése azonban alábbhagy, amikor észreveszi, hogy a kislány egyre nagyobb segítségére van az üzleti csalásaiban.

Ten se živí podomním prodejem biblí, které svým zákazníkům rafinovaně vnucuje. Mozes má Addii jen odvézt k její tetě ve vzdáleném městě, avšak po cestě zjistí, že svérázná dívenka má kromobyčejný talent zapůsobit na jeho zákazníky. Ostatně není vyloučeno, že Mozes je Addiiným otcem. A tak se po cestě z obou stane sehraná podvodnická dvojka, která se kromě podomního prodeje živí i různými jinými podvůdky, například…

български език
Райън О`Нийл си партнира с дъщеря си Тейтъм в този много ярък, много топъл и много забавен филм, за който Тейтъм печели Оскар в първата си филмова роля. Райън О`Нийл е сладкодумният измамник Мойсей Прей, който обикаля Канзас, по време на депресията, с кола, пълна с луксозни библии, с обезоръжаваща усмивка и списък на вдовици, които да омае с неустоимия си чар. Ади (Тейтъм О`Нийл) е 9-годишно сираче, с цигара в ръката, което следва Мойсей по петите и разказва играта на спеца на измамите. Маделин Кан е в ролята на невротичната Трикси Дилайт, която пътува с тях... докато Ади усеща, че Трикси може да застане между нея и Мосей - което, определено, няма да се случи.

Superstar and Academy Award-winner Barbra Streisand ("The Prince of Tides," "Funny Girl") and Ryan O'Neal ("Irreconcilable Differences," "Love Story") star as an eccentric girl and an equally eccentric young professor who meet at a musicologist's convention and become involved in a zany chase up and down the hills of San Francisco to recover four identical flight bags containing jewels and secret government papers.

What do the most ravishingly beautiful actress of the 1930s and 40s and the inventor whose concepts were the basis of cell phone and bluetooth technology have in common? They are both Hedy Lamarr, the glamour icon whose ravishing visage was the inspiration for Snow White and Cat Woman and a technological trailblazer who perfected a radio system to throw Nazi torpedoes off course during WWII. Weaving interviews and clips with never-before-heard audio tapes of Hedy speaking on the record about her incredible life—from her beginnings as an Austrian Jewish emigre, to her scandalous nude scene in the 1933 film Ecstasy, to her glittering Hollywood life, to her ground-breaking, but completely uncredited inventions, to her latter years when she became a recluse, impoverished and almost forgotten—BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY brings to light the story of an unusual and accomplished woman, spurned as too beautiful to be smart, but a role model to this day.

The Thing Called LoveRomance1993

In Nashville, there are 10,000 singer-songwriters chasing success... with one chance in a million of getting it. For Miranda "no relation to Elvis" Presley (Samantha Mathis), that's one chance worth taking. Fresh from New York City, Miranda befriends three fellow hopefuls: shy Connecticut cowboy Kyle Davidson (Dermot Mulroney); Southern belle Linda Lue Linden (Sandra Bullock); and James Wright (River Phoenix), a cocky Texan with brooding good looks and a honeyed voice. Together they begin a rocky ride down Music City's well-worn highway, finding hope, heartbreak, happiness... and The Thing Called Love. Acclaimed director Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon) presents a dynamic, music-filled film that features Phoenix in one of his final roles (and his only singing one), as well as a showy part for Bullock, who would rocket to stardom the following year in Speed.
