About this product

Product Information

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.

A classic early 80s comedy from Ron Howard!
When actor Ron Howard decided to leave a successful run as Richie Cunningham on the sitcom "Happy Days" and try his hand at film directing, he would go on to become very successful in this venture. His 1982 comedy, "Night Shift", was only his second directing effort, and it turned out to be a very funny film. The central story concerns city morgue worker Chuck Lumley (Henry Winkler), who is transferred to the night shift at his job. His new co-worker is Bill "Blaze" Blazejowski (brilliantly played by Michael Keaton), who convinces him to take over the business of Belinda (Shelley Long), a prostitute who also happens to be Chuck's next-door neighbor. By combining their talents together, they help the girls become even better well-off under their guidance. As they become successful at this sideline, their lives go in unexpected ways. Complicating matters is the fact that Chuck is engaged to his fiance Charlotte (Gina Hecht), who is totally unhappy with Chuck working night shift and with her sneaking food behind his back. As the two guys continue their business, Chuck and Belinda develop feelings for one another. The film's soundtrack features songs like the title tune by Quarterflash, a live version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones, "You Really Got Me" by Van Halen and Rod Stewart performing "That's What Friends Are For". Look carefully for cameo appearances from Shannon Doherty as a girl scout and Kevin Costner as 'Frat Boy #1'. A perfect example of great comedy from the early 80s, "Night Shift" is the one movie that set Ron Howard on his way as a great director.Read full review
