"Paper Moon," a 1973 cinematic gem produced by The Directors Company and Saticoy Productions, is a poignant and humorous journey through the heart of the Great Depression-era America.

Set against the backdrop of the vast, dusty plains of the Midwest, the black-and-white film captures the essence of a bygone era with its meticulous attention to detail and authentic portrayal of the period.
