Door-To-Door Maniac (1961)


Ron Howard took a break from playing Opie on the Andy Griffith Show to be in this movie.
He plays the son of a woman held hostage by Johnny Cash!
Johnny also sings the theme, Five Minutes To Live, which is the movie's alternate title.


Before playing Richie on Happy Days, Ron starred in the only movie directed by Darren McGavin.
It's called Happy Mother's Day, Love George AKA Run Stranger, Run (1973)


He plays an adopted teen who finds his biological family in a small town.
Including his aunt and crazy cousin, played by Patricia Neal and Tessa Dahl.
(Who are mother and daughter in real life.)
And discovers they're all keeping a dark secret.


You can watch both movies free on YouTube!

This is my second/last post for the Month of Mayberry. Check out my first here.

    1. That poster is false advertising. She actually answered the door in a granny nighty lol. Johnny did make her put on a negligee later, but it wasn't that skimpy.
