1
00:00:02,882 --> 00:00:08,832
I am Peter Bogdanovich and I'm going
to be speaking about Paper Moon.
2
00:00:09,002 --> 00:00:12,677
Billy Friedkin, Francis Coppola
and I had a company.
3
00:00:12,842 --> 00:00:17,757
There were three Directors
Company films. This was the first.
4
00:00:19,562 --> 00:00:21,598
That typeface,
5
00:00:21,762 --> 00:00:25,038
Paper Moon, the logo,
6
00:00:25,202 --> 00:00:31,038
Polly Platt, the production designer,
found in Kansas while scouting locations.
7
00:00:36,562 --> 00:00:38,871
It's very Thirties.
8
00:00:40,282 --> 00:00:43,035
It was Tatum's first picture.
9
00:00:43,202 --> 00:00:47,081
I had already made
What's Up, Doc? with Ryan.
10
00:00:49,922 --> 00:00:55,440
Laszlo Kovacs, Polly Platt and Frank
Marshall, who all worked on this picture,
11
00:00:55,602 --> 00:01:00,392
had all worked with me before
on a couple of pictures.
12
00:01:07,042 --> 00:01:12,639
The title of this book, on which
the movie's based, was Addie Pray.
13
00:01:12,802 --> 00:01:17,273
I was looking through a list
of songs of the period
14
00:01:17,442 --> 00:01:22,641
and there was this song called
It's Only A Paper Moon.
15
00:01:22,802 --> 00:01:26,112
Those two words, "Paper Moon",
jumped out at me.
16
00:01:28,202 --> 00:01:32,036
We actually had to put a scene
in the picture
17
00:01:32,202 --> 00:01:35,990
where she sits in the paper moon
to convince the studio.
18
00:01:36,162 --> 00:01:40,872
Alvin Sargent did a great job
on this screenplay.
19
00:01:48,322 --> 00:01:51,155
The picture begins in a close-up.
20
00:01:53,122 --> 00:01:56,512
Actually, the original script
began in a movie theatre,
21
00:01:56,682 --> 00:02:01,119
where Tatum's character was watching
a Shirley Temple movie.
22
00:02:01,282 --> 00:02:04,194
I thought we should begin at the funeral,
23
00:02:04,362 --> 00:02:09,197
...
