Interesting facts

Leo and Loree is a 1980 American romantic comedy film directed by Jerry Paris, starring Donny Most and Linda Purl. It was the first theatrical film from Ron Howard's production company.

Production

Ron Howard started the project in 1975 during spare time on weekends while filming Happy Days and started shooting scenes on 16 mm film. James Ritz, a writer for Happy Days, started a script but the project was put on hold until Howard took it to ABC as a potential television movie which led to Ritz expanding the rough script.

The director, Jerry Paris, had filmed every episode of Happy Days at the time. The star, Donny Most, was also a regular on Happy Days, as Ralph Malph.

The film was shot in Southern California, including Malibu, Beverly Hills and Venice, Los Angeles.
