Happy Mother’s Day, Love George (1973) 
Happy Mother’s Day, Love George (AKA: Run Stranger, Run) stars what I first thought was a very good Ron Howard lookalike, who I later realised was actually Ron Howard... here he portrays a boy on the run in New England on a quest to find his birth parents and reconstruct the jigsaw of his past. Unfortunately, a new face in a small town that is host to some brutal killings and disappearances does have its drawbacks.
The film has a quite light-hearted almost melancholic tone to it in many respects, and the 'whodunit' aspect revolving around the killings almost feels as if it is a sub-plot to the various eccentricities of the characters who are housed in the sleepy little New England Town and their relationships with one another.
All the performances are pretty solid, although the main plot device revolving around the quest for the birth parents does seem rather stretched and even disrupts the pace of the film at times. The identity of the killer is also far from a surprise, although despite the predictability there are a few nice little psychotic moments to be had here.
