Second viewing; first viewed on December 24, 1988.
In Kansas, at the time of the Great Depression, a con man associates with a 9-year-old child and they roam the State applying confidence tricks.
It draws its greatest appeal from the notion of a child who can't be outsmarted; the actress in this part is extremely successful in conveying that notion. The growing affection between father and (possible) daughter is intelligently constructed in dramatic and comedic terms. A very neat script makes it all entertaining.
Rating: 68 (unchanged).
