Bible Salesmen - Paper Moon (3/8) Movie CLIP (1973) HD

[@Mr.BeastFacts]

This is such a well-crafted piece of cinema. Acting, cinematography, soundtrack, comedy, it’s a home run. Now, eat your Coney Island!

"Nevermind the circumstances...and if it'll make that woman happy, I'll take it." Just the way he speaks that line, & the tone of voice he uses, literally makes my eyes tear-up every time. Such a touching scene.

[@borbetomagus]

IMDb says Ed Reed was Peter Bogdanovich's driver. The small part was given to him as they couldn't find the right person, but Peter thought he had the right look. Regardless, he does a great job.

[@mjreed1964]

@@borbetomagus Ed Reed is my father. The Teamster's Union Local 696 out of Topeka, of which Dad was a Business Agent, bid and won the contract to chauffeur all the actors during the filming of the movie. He & Peter hit it off immediately. In fact, they remained lifelong friends. Dad actually had to audition for the part and it turned out Peter said he was a natural in front of the camera. In fact, every year our family of 7 children (Lawrence, KS) received wonderful Christmas gifts from Peter. As it turns out, Peter wanted our family to move to CA so Dad could be an actor. We did not move to CA and didn't even find out about Peter's vision for Dad until we were adults. Instead, we were raised in a town geared toward families and we all turned out "normal" (whatever that may be!) Anyway, yes he was Peter's driver and they had a great friendship. God rest both of them.

@@mjreed1964 Thank you for providing additional details!

@@mjreed1964 wow Melanie.

[@hotscum6970]

Why? It’s pretty obvious that the lawman was living/sleeping with the widow, probably had been having an affair with her for a while before the husband passed. He just wanted to look good in front of her and keep her mouth shut. This scene isn’t touching at all, it’s just two marital scam artists against two financial ones.

I love it when people say they've never heard of a place. Yeah, they've never heard of you either.

Swindlers selling bibles never seems to go out of style.

Didn't expect that comment, but nailed it.

AWSOME

Religion as an idea, is the biggest scam of all time.

I guess selling Korans has never been as profitable...for some reason.

RIP Peter Bogdonovich. You made one of the greatest comedies ever made.

"My mamma's gone with the Lord." "So has poor Mr. Bates, honey." Great line.

I love that smirk on her face afterwards! haha Great movie. ;)

I love his change in face from impressed/admiring to sour when she mentioned his debt to her. XD

[@Jozart]

One of my favorite movies of all time ❤️

Me too. I love the chickens pecking under the running board. :^)

Jo Zart me to i always watch it when it comes on.

[@scottmorrison466]

Yes absolutely timeless. ✝️

[@princeabrar8629]

wow before watching ur comment i have delivered same comment u did...else i would just like ur comment..

[@berniecom728]

Tatum is a little doll.

[@frankscivier4874]

Like Jozart below, “Paper Moon” is one of my all-time favourite movies. I don’t think Ryan O’Neal was ever in a better movie than this and his daughter Tatum gave a fabulous performance for such a young girl making her debut. For some strange reason I haven’t seen this movie televised for a very long time. 5 years at least and maybe 10. God knows why!.

[@BackwoodsFilms]

She always had that debt calculated down to the penny. 😄

[@mikemanners1069]

These two were dynamic together.....

[@AB-re6re]

Yes... & A great movie was made

[@jasoneugenides5770]

Tatum was abused a lot as a child and had a lot of struggles with addiction. She lived a hard life. I hope she's doing well now.

[@JayDogTitan-he6wo]

This movie is golden, One of my favorites.

[@RED01SEA]

is there any other game that is similaire to this in the feel , i think the wizard of oz , and willy wonka and the chocolate factory are close

[@MsZeitgeist85]

1:46 Mose is thinking 12 dollars you're nuts you little brat but also gained respect for Addie.

[@bobbylee2853]

That’s about $265 today.😅

Some of the best chld acting I have ever..seen.... . No wonder she got an Oscar...

Loved the paperback.Simpley adore the film. One of the cinema greats of all time.

[@robertplatt643]

$12 was a lotta money. My grandfather was making $25 a week as an electrician's helper.

[@skat1140]

If this were done today: the end scene would have them "driving" on a set, with green screen CGI background. [Yes, I know that, even here, when they are "driving", they are really on a platform that truck is pulling.] And they'd probably not have the imagination to do it in black&white.

[@JasonNation72]

RIP Ryan O Neal

Watching the scenery pass by, I can't begin to imagine why I moved out of Kansas.

[@MichaelAkoneto]

It's funny how that cop scared him

[@tremorsfan]

As far as scams go this one seems pretty harmless. At least they're getting something out of it.

[@Toywithme200]

this was an awesome movie! the first time i ever saw a nine year old smoke a cigarette was in this movie. I laughed so hard.

[@ADDrecords]

That guy sounds like Randy Travis lol

Moze reminds me of a 30s era Saul goodman. His character could talk his way out of anything.

Very timely

[@WinslowLeach1974]

It's actually a pretty good scam when you think about it, selling personalized bibles after checking the obituary columns. I wonder if the idea came from actual events, or was thought up for the script.

[@tricorvus2673]

Actual events. Every scam in the book by Joe David Brown, was real. My parents grew up in that era. They used the book and this wonderful movie to teach me how not to fall for scammers.

[@kooj22]

@Trantor The Troll You know, this seems awfully similar to that Simpsons episode "The Great Money Caper".

[@TheConorsmithusa]

Yep that's what brought me here!! Just saw that clip of homer and bart trying to con Flanders into buying a bible with Flanders name on it haha

[@Engelbird]

RIP good sir

[@jasoneugenides5770]

I've been thinking about this scene and I'm convinced that the policeman knows it's a scam. He's heard about this trick by now a few times in his line of work. But he's recently dating the widow after the husband's passing and wants her happy. "If it will make that woman happy" is a telling line. On a deeper level, it makes Ryan O'Neal's character look like less of a bad guy in that while he's deceiving people for a profit, at the end of the day he's not harming anyone and might actually be doing something positive. It's important to the theme of the picture to get the audience to be on these two criminal's side. There are a lot of sympathetic characters in this movie just trying to get by during hard times. Even though they might seem to lack character on the surface, deep down you feel for them all.

[@edreid7872]

Thank God he and Tatum has made peace...

[@tonkip]

I love the film deeply but you all have any idea just how much 12 dollars was within the great resesion during the 1930's in terms of today's money?????. Great film but completely over exaggerated in terms of how much money they were making selling the good Lords book throughout the great depression of the 1930's.... Do the math in terms of today's money and you'll find that the film (how great it is) is completely flawed.
