Station Master: That will be $11.45.
Moses Pray: I want you to send this here telegram to Miss Billie Roy Griggs of Cosmo Road, St. Joseph: "Train arriving 9:52 AM and bringing love, affection, and $20 cash." Oh, make that "$25 cash", and sign it just "Addie Loggins".
Station Master: 10 words, that will be eighty-five cents more, that will be $12 and 30.
Moses Pray: $12 and 30, huh? You better say in that message there "Love, affection, and $20 cash."
Our second movie on the docket will be a 1973 American comedy directed by Peter Bogdanovich titled 'Paper Moon'. The film follows a con man named Moses Pray (Ryan O'Neal) who meets 9-year-old Addie Loggins (Tatum O'Neal). This pair is intriguing because it is a father-daughter cast.
I found this picture when I researched the movie and I can't wait to watch after seeing it. Here are some accolades that the film received:
- Tatum O'Neal won the 1973 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (Age 10 at the time, still the youngest to ever win).
- Nominated for Best Sound (Richard Portman, Les Fresholtz)
- Nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay (Alvin Sargent)
- Ryan O'Neal was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy
- 90% on Rotten Tomatoes
- 8.2/10 on IMDB
This is our first suggested movie by our contributor David Wagner. I'll post my synopsis on Wednesday. Looking forward to getting everyone's input!
