![]() ![]() This is one of the only films on IMDB that I've seen to get completely positive reviews. I looked it up before I bought myself a copy the movie, just to make sure my memory wasn't playing tricks on me. Take a look at the reviews of Paper Moon on IMDB sometime, they might convince you to watch it. He is much better than i ever realized, and I think he deserves credit for pulling off a Cary Grant style performance with none of the Grant mannerisms. It was written for the 1981 musical Cats, where it is sung primarily by the character Grizabella as a melancholic remembrance of her glamorous past and as a plea for acceptance. I think you might enjoy it despite his mildness in this film. song) ' Memory ' is a show tune composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Trevor Nunn based on poems by T. I know you said you didn't like Ryan O'Neal, but he gives his best performance in Paper Moon. There's a bit of My Favorite Wife, with O'Neal trying to keep Madeline Kahn from finding Barbra in his hotel room. I've been trying to think of which classic movie had a bunch of switched luggage, I swear I saw something recently that suddenly made me think of What's Up Doc? but I just can't bring it to mind. The whole hotel room and TV scene had me rolling on the floor like Joe when I was a kid. The scene in the drugstore is a riot, and also the way she charms everyone and twists Austin Pendleton around her finger at Howard's big dinner. In this one I love the string of colleges she rattles off, and the way she says "hi, daddy" to slow burning Liam Dunn as the antacid popping judge. This movie and Funny Girl are my favorite of her movies. I've been coming back around to her, she really is very funny. My parents liked showtunes, so I grew up with her Funny Girl songs in my head. I liked her when I was little and had no idea that she was such a polarizing actress and singer. You know, I think people either love or hate Barbra. ![]()
