Plot Synopsis
Storyline
This TV-oriented story is about a smooth-talking salesman who peddles vacuum cleaners but is really a con man out to get money. The con artist/salesman Larry (Ron Leibman) meets Leon (Arliss Howard), an honest salesman who is making no money at all, and teaches him how to swindle his way to riches. The two team up, taking in everyone from car dealers to a poor widow, whose niece Katherine (Jane Kaczmarek) has sparked the interest of Leon. But since Larry himself is being blackmailed by a detective for the vacuum-cleaner company, his ultimate concern is getting rid of this drain on his hardly-earned money. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie G uide

"Door to Door" suffers from an identity crisis of epic proportions. What starts out with promise as a dark comedy along the lines of "Used Cars", bogs down halfway through in a sappy romance. Lying and cheating their way along the road, super salesman Ron Leibman and his idolizing trainee, Arliss Howard, are likable characters, though somewhat insincere. After the promising beginning, the film deteriorates into nothing more than a series of slapstick skits. The ending is totally unbelievable, unsatisfying, and weak. One last thing. This is the first movie I've seen that proves beyond a doubt that a Cadillac cannot float. - MERK
