Captivating is a word I rarely get to to use a describe a movie. This movie most certainly is. A conman and a kid meet under extrodinary circumstances in extrordinary times. The country is going through the Great Depression and the conman is making hay pulling his tricks on every available opportunity until he meets the girl who proves more than a match to him. Witty, funny, emotinal this movie is a roller coaster ride of emotions. Like all good underdog movies you end up cheering for the protagonists despite their criminal intent. But different from its genre it ends in a climax worth the rest of the movie. The acting by Tatum O'neal as Addie was exceptional and won her an oscar. she still holds the reord for the youngest actress to win an oscar. I highly recommend this movie to anyone with heart.
