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.

  • Night Shift could be any number of occupations, but I liked the setting of a "quiet" county morgue.

    This is mature Henry Winkler until the Michael Katon character arrives at the morgue to "loosen him up." The cast of assorted hookers became totally engaging, especially Shelley Long's role.

  • This is a Really Great Romantic Comedy

    I tend not to analyze movies. I just like what I like and we both loved this movie. Michael Keaton is a hoot, and all the characters were great in this romantic comedy. Definitely would recommend this movie to anyone who likes really great comedy.

  • Fun movie. Keaton kills it!

    Cute little movie. Lots of T & A like it was in the 70s. Ron Howard was a young director. He was actually in one of the first shots kissing a young woman. Michael Keaton stole lots of scenes. Note Ron Howard’s younger brother makes a cameo. Fun all around.

  • just a lot of fun

    Michael Keaton is, as always, at his comedic best. henry winkler is great! as is shelley long. this movie has been making me laugh for years. just a fun comedy...which is something we need more of. though it is an older movie, I find it tremendously entertaining. no, It will never win an Oscar, but that's ok. the characters and plot will always be winners with me.

  • Great comedy and music soundtrack too!

    Great comedy and music soundtrack too! I want to see this movie in the theater 41 years ago in 1982. I hadn’t seen it since, until I saw some of it on YouTube recently and now I bought the DVD. It’s as good now as it was then, maybe better, I can watch it over and over! Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, I think in his film debut and Shelly Long are perfect together in this movie along with the other supporting cast and is just a great comedy and good music to go with it. Recommended!

  • Satisfying and gratifying comedy

    I still find the film Night Shift very entertaining after all these years. It's a fine body of work from director Ron Howard along with the wonderful group of actors in the film. It's definitely an 80s film from the storyline to the soundtrack. I highly recommend watching this film and adding it to your collection of DVDS.

  • Funnier Than I Remembered

    I saw this “back in the day” when it was originally in theaters. Not only does the humor still hold up today it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time. Well worth the cost.
