The Courtship of Eddie's Father

Movie (1963)

The film that started the classic TV series. Although he's only seven, Eddie's got it all figured out. He wants his father, a widower, to get remarried - to the girl next door. Unfortunately, she's not one of the women that his dad's been dating. Sweet family comedy.

CAMEO(Rance Howard): Appearing in an uncredited role (camp counselor) is Ron Howard's father. As with Clint Howard, this was one of several times Rance would be part of a production involving Ron.
The film that Eddie and his father see at the cinema is Sam Peckinpah's western Ride the High Country - like this film, an MGM picture.
In Norman Jones's (Jerry Van Dyke's) radio studio, there are black-and-white publicity photos of various celebrities on the wall. One of the pictures is of Jerry Van Dyke's real-life brother, Dick Van Dyke, who was starring in The Dick Van Dyke Show at the time the film was made.
Previously Ron Howard and Shirley Jones had played sister and brother in The Music Man while in this movie they probably become stepmother and stepson.
