Ron
Howard's riotous comedy is about two men--one's a
milquetoast, the other is beyond hyperactive--who work
the night shift in a morgue. After they become friendly
with a sweet streetwalker, the duo decides to start a
side venture: prostitution.
Soon the guys have become pimps and the funeral parlor
has turned into a headquarters for harlots.
This early breakthrough comedy by Ron Howard is a rowdy,
raunchy surprise from a Hollywood star known more for
his wholesome fare. A mismatched pair of New York City
morgue workers, hopelessly stuck working the night
shift, decide to make a little extra cash during those
long, late-night hours--they set up a call-girl service,
becoming the funniest love brokers in the Big Apple.
Henry Winkler stars as Chuck Lumley, a downtrodden
pushover who unhappily endures a whining girlfriend
(Gina Hecht) and a dead-end job at the morgue. But after
meeting congenial hooker Belinda (Shelley Long), Chuck
decides to help her and her friends organize their
nightly endeavors. Michael Keaton, in his film debut,
steals the movie as Bill Blazejowski, Chuck's manic,
crazed assistant at the morgue. Chuck and Bill perfect
their new roles as pimps until Chuck's romantic feelings
for Belinda cause him to rethink his new career. NIGHT
SHIFT was a HAPPY DAYS reunion of sorts for Howard:
Former costar Henry Winkler (Arthur Fonzarelli) stars in
the film, and HAPPY DAYS producers Lowell Ganz and
Babaloo Mandel wrote the screenplay. NIGHT SHIFT also
marked Howard's first collaboration with his longtime
producing partner, Brian Grazer!!
