("Opie Cunningham" is a term of endearment towards Ron, coined by Eddie Murphy back in the early 80's on SNL)

A Film Noir classic. Could be a part of a Master Class in bad acting!
Here's a trailer from the re-release, after Ronnie Howard had moved on to Mayberry.

(5,727 posts)...so when anyone points out reality, the little snowflakes get all triggered and they scream REEEEE and fling doo-doo instinctively. Honestly, I'm shocked S.A. even admitted that Obama HAS achievements. His fellow trumpkins are gonna eat him alive for that.
(Also they know, deep down inside, that for all his blather Generalissimo Corpulente will never even come close to measuring up to Obama in any fashion--outside of number of indictments and impeachment--and they feel compelled to defend their God Emperor.)

(8,083 posts)It's not uncommon to know people who know and/or work with people in the entertainment industry. I don't think I've EVER said anything negative about the "rich and famous" even if I hear negative things because I try very hard to "be impeccable with my word" (the four agreements). Having said that, when it comes up to speak highly of someone based on everything I've ever heard, I normally do.
Ron Howard is absolutely revered in this town! I've NEVER heard one negative thing about him and I know of at least two people who've worked on his films and they adore him - they say he's the nicest, most thoughtful person you'd ever want to meet (definitely in the same arena as Tom Hanks). He's NOT an activist (like Rob Reiner and Judd Apatow who send great tweets calling dt out on his disgusting behavior on an ongoing basis and I LOVE both of them for it). My point is that when Ron Howard says something you can take it to the bank.

(18,770 posts)...as both Opie and Richie, and as Ron in many interviews over the years. He (Hanks is in in the same category) always seemed like a decent guy, maybe a guy you'd smoke a bowl with and listen to Floyd in 1979.
Although I've always suspected Potsie to be a stoner (I mean, his nickname is "POTsie"??? )
