   I am embarrassed to admit how many times I have seen this movie over the last fifteen years!! Let’s just say many times. I love everything about the movie – the plot, the actors, the acting, the b&w effect, and of course the music. There was one mistake – in one segment her father lights a cigarette while in the car, and seconds later you see him finishing it. How could they not have spotted this in ‘73?

   If you buy this movie on DVD there is a seperate section on “the making of papermoon”. It shows a few of the bloopers during filming…they are a blast!

    Dr. Nehi was one flavor. Peach, Grape, and Orange were others as well as Root Beer and others. The original Nehi was actually cola. It was the cola that lasted the longest in popularity and the Nehi corporation later changed its name to Royal Crown Cola.

    A nehi is a soda that tastes like a Dr. Pepper.

    This film just works on so many levels. This is an amazing scene. Ryan O’Neil’s reaction with his mouth full when she first says “I want my $200″ is absolutely priceless. This is comedy at its best, but there is so much more going on here. The icy stare she gives him “Then git it…” is chilling to think that she was 9 or 10 at the time this was filmed. Absolutely amazing.

    Tatum carried the movie and did brilliantly. I think it’s her father’s best performance. A great movie.

    This scene was filmed in McCracken, Kansas. Unfortunately, the building that they are in was torn down two years ago and is now a vacant lot. The building across the street is still there.

    “I WANT MY MONEY!!!”
    Adorable Tatum. My mother was identical to her as a child in the ’30’s. The O’Neal’s accents are not always non-California-esq, but still they did ok. It’s a classic film.

    ~”But I don’t HAVE it!”
    -”Then git it.” lol

    Half the fun of this film is watching father and daughter acting together…they seem like they are having a ball.
