Night Shift (1982) review

"Peace and quiet" don't come easily for morgue attendant Chuck Lumley (Henry Winkler), who gets relegated to the night shift - much to the displeasure of his fiancée Charlotte (Gina Hecht) - and his new partner, high-strung Bill Blazejowski (Michael Keaton), convinces him to turn the place into a makeshift brothel, with the help of call girl Belinda (Shelley Long).  Although it's highly implausible they could get away with such a thing for an extended period of time without drawing any attention to themselves - and, as expected, Chuck falls in love with Belinda (which is an issue due to her line of work) - the chemistry between the leads is delightful, with wide-eyed Keaton playing the disaster artist while Winkler chugs Alka-Seltzer and loses his hair (to quote Henry, he wanted to "play Richie Cunningham for once").  For only being his second feature film, Howard is quite confident behind the camera - you'd think it was because of all that experience as a child actor, but no: he's kind of a natural.
